capital. In^fact, the net movement of capital was the other way.
The rigid controls which these comitries imposed on exchange trans-
actions during most of these years tended to keep their capital at
home, while large-scale military preparations absorbed a substantial
proportion of their investments abroad.
Nevertheless the amount of enemy-owned property in the United
States was still rather substantial at the time of our entry into this
war. Moreover, regardless of the total value of enemy-owned prop-
erty, much of it was of strategic importance in American industry.
Wartime control over enemy-owned property serves the double pur-
pose of eliminating any benefit to the enemy from these assets and of
making available productive enterprises and strategic materials to
promote our own war effort. In addition, wartime control is essential
to prevent property from becoming derelict.
In contrast with the method of handling enemy property that was
followed during the last war, a distinction has been drawn this time
between two broad classes of property. Cash, and investment
securities not involving control over specific productive assets, have
been placed within the jurisdiction of the Treasury Department.
Other types of property, particularly productive assets, which must
not only be kept from the enemy but which also must be positively
controlled if they are to continue as parts of our economic system,
have been placed under jm'isdiction of the Office of Ahen Property
Custodian.
Property with which the Office deals falls into five main groups:
1. Business enterprises.
2. Patents, trade-marks, and copyrights.
3. Keal and personal property.
4. Ships.
5. Property in process of judicial administration.
Three basic forms of control are employed by the Alien Property
Custodian in dealing with properties under his jurisdiction. The first
involves an outright transfer of title to the property from the foreign
owner to the Custodian. Each such transfer is accomplished through
what is known as a "vesting" order issued by the Custodian. The
second, used in cases where it is not thought desirable to take title or
as an interim protective device while true beneficial ownership of
properties is being investigated, involves the issuance by the Custodian
of a "supervisory" order which has the effect of giving him control
of the use and operation of the property without transfer of title. A
procedure has been established for receiving and evaluating interim
claims of nonenemy persons who are affected by either type of order.
The third form of control is exercised through general orders and
2 >
related regulations, which require persons having interests in certain
classes of property to perform certain acts or to refrain from their
performance.
During the period covered by this report 1,792 vesting orders were
issued. Under these orders, and related supervisory orders, the Office
of Alien Property Custodian assumed control of property whose total
estimated value is $356,000,000, in which the vested enemy interest
is roughly estimated at $125,000,000. In addition, there have been
vested 41,000 patents and patent applications, as well as a large num-
ber of valuable copyrights and trade-marks, for which values cannot
be assigned. Supervisory control without transfer of title was assumed
during the period over property valued at about $20,000,000, under
supervisory orders.
In terms of ownership, the manufacturing enterprises, patents, and
miscellaneous properties were predominantly German, the trading
companies, banks, and insurance companies mostly Japanese. Italian
properties, except for ships, are of minor significance and little or no
property of consequence has been discovered belonging to nationals
of Rumania, Hungary, or Bulgaria.
It remains for Congress to determine the ultimate disposition of
enemy property subjected to the control of this Office. In the mean-
time, the functions of the Custodian are twofold — to search out and
seize enemy property and property interests, and to administer these
and supervised properties in such a way that the American economy
and the American war effort will derive the maximum benefits of
control.
Some 200 of the enterprises taken over by the Office of Alien Prop-
erty Custodian, principally trading companies, banks, and insurance
companies, are being liquidated. These, it was determined, have no
particular contribution to make as going concerns, and can best serve
the national interest if their productive assets and the labor they
employ are made available to other producers. These liquidations
are being carried out under direction of salaried employees of the
Office of Alien Property Custodian.
The immediate problem in dealing with the remaining business
enterprises which are being continued as going concerns is to make sure
that each has a loyal, highly competent management that wiU make a
full contribution to the war effort. In many of these enterprises
the Office has retained existing management. In these cases the
management was judged to be able and loyal, and production results
so far indicate that all productive resources are being fully utilized.
The Office has uniformly refrained from interfering with existing
arrangements of these companies for legal, engineering, or auditing
services. It will continue to be our policy to avoid interference of
^ 3
any sort with managements of controlled companies so long as pro-
duction results are satisfactory.
Where it has been found necessary to replace management, the
task of seciu-ing competent and skilled personnel imder wartime
conditions has been difficult. In today's highly competitive man-
power market, men are reluctant to leave secure positions for new
places unless they can be assm*ed security of tenure and adequate
income. In many cases the Office uses its own salaried employees in
vested companies as members of boards of directors and in supervisory
capacities.
As a point of national policy it will probably become advisable
to dispose ultimately of most or all of the vested properties that
are maintained as going concerns. A desirable sales policy must
foster continued existence of these enterprises as strong and economi-
cally independent producing entities.
The Office of Alien Property Custodian has fixed upon a policy
of public sales of properties to the highest bidders, reserving the
right to weigh, in addition to monetary considerations, the competence
of the bidders to maintain the property as a valuable producing
concern, their willingness to maintain it as a freely competing institu-
tion, and operate it with due regard for the national interest of the
United States.
Wherever feasible a wide distribution of the stock of formerly
enemy-owned companies will be encouraged. In some of the more
important enterprises the method of voting trusts will be used so as
to prevent transfer of the shares to enemy nationals for a specified
period of time.
During the past year this Office has vested some 36,000 patents
and 5,000 patent applications formerly owned by nationals of Axis
and Axis-controlled countries. The inventions and processes covered
by these patents and applications relate to every field of industrial
activity but are most heavily concentrated in the fields of chemistry,
electrical equipment, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. Many of them
relate to the production of ordnance and aircraft.
The technical subject matter of both vested patents and patent
applications is being made widely known to American industry and
to all war agencies. Patents taken from the enemy nationals which
are not already under exclusive license to Americans are being licensed
by this Office on a nonexclusive, royalty-free basis. The patents taken
from nationals of enemy-occupied countries which are not already
under license to Americans are to be licensed on a royalty-free basis
for^the duration of the war with a provision for reasonable royalty
payments thereafter. All royalty payments due under vested patents
are being collected by this Office.
4 ^
Many of the vested patents are already under license to American
industry and of these some are tied up with agreements restricting
price, production, use, sale, and market area. The interests of foreign
nationals in contracts relating to United States patents, including the
licensed vested patents, are being vested, and wherever possible the
contracts will be modified to remove the restrictive provisions.
The copyright interests of foreign nationals in approximately 72,000
works have already been vested by this Office. Royalty due on these
is being collected. The publication of works not now available is
being fostered. Microfilm reproduction of approximately 500 enemy
scientific books and periodicals has been authorized and licenses have
been granted to reprint over 250 volumes of German scientific works.
Under terms of Executive Order No. 9325, signed by the President
April 7, 1943, necessary administrative costs of the Office of Alien
Property Custodian, as approved by the Bureau of the Budget, are
chargeable to the properties held by the Office. <•
The Office of Alien Property Custodian intends in this report, as
in all its documents and actions, to keep you and the Congress fully
informed of its activities. We propose at all times to make matters of
public record appointments by the Office, seiziu-es of property, sales
of such property, and our activities as owners or supervisors of vested
property.
In this spirit we submit the first annual report of the Office of
Alien Property Custodian.
Respectfully,
Leo T. Crowley,
Alien Property Custodian,

JURISDICTION
The Office of Alien Property Custodian was established by the
President in the Office for Emergency Management, by Executive
Order No. 9095 of March 11, 1942, under the authority of the Trading
with the Enemy Act, as amended. The functions and duties of the
Office were further defined by Executive Order No. 9193 of July 6,
1942, amending Executive Order No. 9095.
By Executive Order No. 6694, dated May 1, 1934, the remaining
functions of the then Alien Property Custodian in relation to property
seized as a result of the First World War were transferred as of March
2, 1934, to the Department of Justice. On April 21, 1942, these
powers, together with the personnel and property used in their admin-
istration by the Department of Justice, were transferred to the present
Alien Property Custodian pursuant to Executive Order No. 9142.
The present Office, therefore, has jurisdiction over First World War
property which has not been returned to former enemies, in addition
to its functions which arise from the present war.
The first provision for an Alien Property Custodian in United
States legislation is found in the Trading with the Enemy Act of
October 6, 1917, authorizing the seizure and administration of enemy
property. The terms of the original act relating to the Custodian's
functions have since been amended in many particulars. The most
recent amendments are contained in sections 301 and 302 of the First
War Powers Act, 1941, which amended a portion of section 5 (b) of
the original act. These new amendments substantially broaden the
powers of the Custodian. They were conceived as avoiding ''the
rigidity and inflexibility which characterized the Alien Property
Custodian law enacted dm"ing the last war" (S. Kept. 911, 77th Cong.,
1st sess., p. 2), and as ''adding a flexibility of control which experience
under the original act and the recent experience imder freezing con-
trol have demonstrated to be advisable" (H. Kept. 1507, 77th Cong.,
1st sess., p. 3). At the same time it was noted, with reference to the
Trading with the Enemy Act prior to the amendment, "some sections
of that act are still in effect, some sections have terminated, and there
-is doubt of the effectiveness of other sections'' (Id., at p. 2).
Several agencies of the Government have been given responsibilities
in the control of foreign-owned property in the United States, but
a distinct segment of the field has been assigned to the Office of Alien
Property Custodian. This Office, in general, has jurisdiction: ^
(1) In cases where enemy nationals have interests in —
(a) Business enterprises and interests therein;
(6) All other types of property except cash, bank deposits,
and securities;
(c) Any property which is in the process of judicial adminis-
tration;
(2) In cases where foreign nationals have interests in —
(a) Patents, copyrights, trade-marks;
(b) Business enterprises and interests therein, provided the
Custodian certifies to the Secretary of the Treasury
that it is in the national interest for him to exercise
jurisdiction;
(c) Ships.
For the most part, the control of foreign property and dealings
therein is divided between the Secretary of the Treasm-y and the Office
of Alien Property Custodian. Control exercised by the Secretary
of the Treasury was initiated by Executive Order No. 8389 on April
10, 1940, at the time of the German invasion of Norway and Den-
mark. That order prohibited all transactions involving Norwegian
and Danish property within the United States except as authorized
by the Secretary of the Treasury. Since that time this type of con-
trol has been extended to the assets of all continental European
countries (with the exception of Turkey), of Japan, of China (at the
request of the Chinese Government), and of areas occupied by Japan.
It has also been extended to the nationals of other countries who
cooperate with or serve the Axis in the American republics. In
general, it has been and continues to be exercised through the general
prohibition of transactions involving foreign-owned property and the
subsequent issuance of licenses authorizing specific transactions and,
in certain instances, broad classes of transactions. It has been applied
to enterprises, as well as to bank accounts and other deposits, although
it has frequently been necessary in the case of business enterprises to

will be found in Exhibit G, p. 156.

take other measures, such as changing management, appointing
supervisors, and ordering Hquidation.
Although freezing control proved to be an adequate instrument of _
economic defense, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor made neces-
sary a more aggressive weapon for the prosecution of the war on the
economic as well as the mihtary front. It was for this purpose that
the First War Powers Act was enacted on December 18, 1941, amend-
ing the Trading with the Enemy Act of October 6, 1917. This
statute confers upon the President, in time of war or other national
emergency, power to investigate and regulate transactions in property
in which foreign countries or nationals thereof have an interest,
and to vest such interests in any agency or person as the President
may designate, to be '^held, used, administered, liquidated, sold, or
otherwise dealt with in the interest of and for the benefit of the
United States."
In accordance with the authority conferred upon him by this
statute, the President, on March 11, 1942, by Executive Order No.
9095,2 created the Office of Alien Property Custodian and delegated
to the Custodian all the powers which had been conferred upon him
by sections 3 (a) and 5 (b) of the Trading with the Enemy Act, as
amended, other than those which he had previously delegated to the
Secretary of the Treasury and to the board of governors of the Federal
Reserve System. The Executive order specifier lly authorized the
Custodian to vest in himself any property or interest therein of any
foreign country or national. In the case of property already subject
to the "freezing control'' of the Secretary of the Treasury, provision
was made for the release of control to the Custodian upon his deter-
mination to assume jurisdiction.
This Office operated under Executive Order No. 9095 until July 6,
1942, when the order was amended by Executive Order No. 9193.^
The new order defined in detail the powers and duties of the Alien
Property Custodian and their relationship to the control exercised by
the Secretary of the Treasury. To the Alien Property Custodian
was delegated the power to take such action as he deems necessary
in the national interest including the power to direct, manage, super-
vise, control or vest the following classes of foreign owned property:
(a) Any business enterprise within the United States which is a
national * of a designated enemy country and any property of any
nature whatsoever owned or controlled by, payable or deliverable to,
held on behalf of or on account of or owing to or which is evidence of
ownership or control of any such business enterprise, and any interest

* This order will be found in Exhibit O, p. 155.
* The definition of national is contained in section 10 of Executive Order No. 9193, which will be found
in Exhibit G, p. 155.
^ 9
of any nature whatsoever in such business enterprise held by an
enemy country or national thereof.
(6) Any other business enterprise within the United States which
is a national of a foreign country and any property of any nature
whatsoever owTied or controlled by, payable or dehverable to, held
on behalf of or on account of or owing to or which is evidence of
ownership or control of any such business enterprise, and any interest
of any nature whatsoever in such business enterprise held by a foreign
country or national thereof, when it is determined by the Custodian
and he has certified to the Secretary of the Treasury that it is necessary
in the national interest, with respect to such business enterprise,
either (i) to provide for the protection of the property, (ii) to change
personnel or supervise the employment policies, (iii) to liquidate,
reorganize, or sell, (iv) to direct the management in respect to opera-
tions, or (v) to vest.
(c) Any other property within the United States owned or con-
trolled by a designated enemy country or national thereof, not
including in such other property, however, cash, bullion, moneys,
currencies, deposits, credits, credit instruments, foreign exchange,
and securities except to the extent that the Alien Property Custodian
determines that such cash, bullion, moneys, currencies, deposits,
credits, credit instruments, foreign exchange, and securities are
necessary for the maintenance or safeguarding of other property
belonging to the same designated enemy country or the same national
thereof and subject to vesting by the Custodian.
{d) Any patent, patent application, design patent, design patent
application, copyright, copyright appHcation, trade-mark or trade-
mark application or right related thereto in which any foreign country
or national thereof has any interest and any property of any nature
whatsoever (including without limitation, royalties, and license fees)
payable or held with respect thereto, and any interest of any nature
whatsoever held therein by any foreign coimtry or national thereof.
(e) Any ship or vessel or interest therein, in which any foreign
country or national thereof has an interest; and
(f) Any property of any nature w^hatsoever which is in the process
of administration by any person acting under judicial supervision or
which is in partition, libel, condemnation, or other similar proceedings
and w^hich is payable or deliverable to, or claimed by, a designated
enemy country or national thereof.
The Custodian is also authorized by Executive Order No. 9193 to
issue appropriate regulations governing the service of process or
notice in court and administrative actions upon any person within
enemy or enemy-occupied territory and to take such measures in
10 ^
representing such persons as in his judgment and at his discretion may
be in the interest of the United States.
Under Executive Order No. 9193, the Treasury Department con-
tinues to exercise control over foreign-owned property which, under
the Executive order, is subject to the jurisdiction of the Office of
Alien Property Custodian until control is assumed by this Office.
In addition, the Secretary of the Treasury retains power over all other
foreign-owned property, including cash, buUion, currency, deposits,
credits, and securities, not subject to the jurisdiction of the Custodian.
Of course, there is close cooperation between the Office of Ahen
Property Custodian and other branches of the Government concerned
with the control of foreign-owned property. Because of his interest
in foreign affairs, the Secretary of State is consulted in the program
of controlling property. All contested litigation in which the Office is
concerned is conducted under the supervision of the Attorney General,
who also gives such legal advice and services as the Attorney General
and the Custodian agree upon.
The Department of Justice also has control over the detention and
internment of aliens whose activities are foimd to be a threat to
national security. From time to time individuals are repatriated
by the joint action of the Department of Justice and the Department
of State, leaving behind them property of importance which requires
management. We also cooperated with the War Department and
the War Relocation Authority in the program of evacuating Japanese
from the West Coast, and with such agencies as the Board of Eco-
nomic Warfare, War Production Board and Procurement Offices of
the mihtary services in placing property controlled by this Office to
its best uses in the war effort.
As is noted elsewhere in connection with the description of the
investigatory work of this Office, other Government agencies have
aided materially in determining the facts of ownership of presumed
foreign-owned property.
^ 11
II
THE OBJECTIVES OF CONTROL
Necessity for Control of Foreign-Owned Property
The magnitude of the current war effort makes it imperative that
all resources be fully utilized to produce instruments of warfare or
essential civilian goods. In order to maximize output, numerous
controls have been established which interfere with well-established
peacetime rights of private persons and business enterprises. If
foreign-owned property is to be mobilized effectively within our
economic organization these controls must be supplemented by special
measures.
The justification for special measures apphcable to foreign-owned
property derives from two general conditions which accompany a
state of war.
(1) Control measures, specifically applicable to enemy-controlled
property in this country, are required because of the potential use of
such property in an endeavor to harm our war effort. The extent to
which enemy-controlled property could be used in this way is reduced
by the presence of general control measures apphcable to the economy
as a whole. But to remove any potential misuse of the property,
control specifically directed to such property is necessary.
In the absence of effective measures of control enemy-owned prop-
erty can be used to further the interest of the enemy and to impede
our own war effort. All enemy-controlled assets can be used to finance
propaganda, espionage, and sabotage in this country or in countries
friendly to our cause. They can be used to acquire stocks of strategic
materials and supplies in our domestic markets or in markets of
friendly countries. Even when such materials and supplies are of no
direct use to the enemy, they will be diverted from our own war
effort. And to the extent that the blockade is not completely success-
ful such goods may, through friendly countries, find their way into the
enemy's war machine.
Established enemy-controlled institutions, such as business enter-
prises, can be used as focal points for promoting subversive activities.
12 4
The productive resources of the business enterprises may be mis-
used either through failure to convert to wartime production or
through less than full utilization with the specific objective of reducing
our wartime output.
The control of patents and patent applications by the ' enemy
involves the danger that important techniques and processes may
not be effectively utilized in our war program. A patent is not itself
a physical resource but the techniques covered by a patent affect the
efficiency with which a fairly large volimie of physical resources — both
foreign and domestically owned — are employed. Enemy-owned
patents may be completely withheld from private use or their licensing
may be so bound up with restrictions as to cause material limitations
of output. In addition, royalties due under patents already licensed
may be directed into the bauds of enemy agents.
(2) The national safety requires the prohibition of all uolicensed
communication, direct or indirect, with enemy and enemy-occupied
territories. To the extent that this prohibition is effective the
residents of such territory are prevented from exercising the rights
and responsibilities of ownership over property located in the United
States. Meanwhile, decisions affecting the utilization of such property
must be made and carried out. Houses must be maintained and rents
collected; payments of principal and interest on mortgages must be
made for the account of foreign debtors and foreign creditors; stranded
stocks of material and equipment must be sold; patents must be
licensed; business enterprises must be operated or liquidated; and
foreign interest must be represented in coiu't actions. The number of
decisions to be made in connection with property is in fact multiplied
by a state of war, which requires that productive resources be shifted
from one use to another so as to conform with the requirements of a
war economy.
Responsible ownership over foreign-owned property in the United
States is eliminated by the conditions of war, even where there are
resident '^managers'' armed with the necessary legal authority to
make economic decisions. The services of such resident "managers'^
are usually satisfactory in ordinary times, as their\uthority to act
can be amended or withdrawn and their decisions approved or vetoed
by the foreign owners. Neither of^these powers can be exercised in
time of war by the residents of enemy or enemy-occupied territory.
Hence, if these properties are not to become derelict, and are to con-
tinue making their proper contribution to the national output of goods
and services, some governmental authority must assume the responsi-
bilities formerly exercised by the foreign property owners.
The existence of property belonging to residents of enemy-occupied
territories presents special problems. Control of these territories by
^ 13
the enemy introduces the danger of misuse as in the case of enemy-
owned property. The severance of communication which removes
responsible ownership may prevent a full use of the property in
question. But as the owners are presumably friendly to pur cause
it is also necessary to safeguard their private interests. This neces-
sity has played an important part in the application of the program
of supervision over business enterprises and of vesting of patents,
patent applications, and copyiights belonging to residents of enemy-
occupied territory. An uneconomical wartime exploitation of their
assets would reduce the income from these assets, and even if fully
utilized the income from the assets may, in the absence of control,
be withheld from their rightful owners. Thus, in the case of patents,
it is impossible for the citizens of the occupied countries, through
arrangements with their agents or licensees, to adapt the use of their
patents to the needs of our war program, and to collect the royalties
due under licensed patents. Nor can they provide for the prosecution
of appHcations for new patents.
Types of Property
In meeting the wartime problems created by the existence of
enemy-controlled property a distinction can be drawn between two
general types of control depending on the character of such property.
All enemy -controlled property can be roughly divided into general
purchasirg power (bank deposits and securities whose ownership does
not carry control over productive resources) and productive resources,
such as the assets of business enterprises, including securities whose
ownership does represent control over productive resources, and
patents which influence the effectiveness with which resources are
employed.
The wartime problem of general piu-chasing power which is enemy-
controlled is that of preventing its use for buying goods or financing
subversive activities. Hence, all that is required is an effective
immobilization of enemy-controlled purchasing power. Beyond this
nothing is to be gained from our own use of the assets in question.
Money itself is not an instrmnent of war. The immobilization of
enemy-controlled funds^will not reduce, and seizure and expendi-
tm'e of such funds will not increase, the output of goods and services.
The level of this output depends ultimately upon the resoiu*ces we
have — labor, equipment, materials — rather than upon the money
with which to buy the output.
It is indeed true that money is used by the Government in the
process of buying the output of industry for the prosecution of the
war. But the use of enemy-controlled funds for this purpose would
constitute a mere substitution for funds now obtained in other ways —
14 >
by taxation and borrowing. And those blocked enemy funds could
never be considered as real substitutes for funds raised by taxation or
borrowing of current savings. For it is chiefly these drains from the
current income stream w^hich are needed in wartime, when the volume
of civilian output is reduced and the amount of civilian purchasing
power excessive.
The availability of enemy-controlled funds — which have been effec-
tively immobilized — does not alter the degree of contraction of private
purchasing^ power necessary for a noninflationary program of war
finance. The use of blocked enemy funds in place of proceeds from
taxation and borrowing of savings would only contribute to a rise of
prices. The use of blocked enemy funds in place of funds borrowed
from commercial banks would not contribute to an additional rise of
prices, but apart from the slight reduction in the cost of borrowing
there would be no advantage in such a substitution.
The situation is quite different in the case of productive resources
which are enemy owned and controlled, directly or indirectly. These
too can be utilized to purchase goods or finance subversive activities.
But while control by what may roughly be designated as the negative
method of immobilization would prevent such use of the resources, it
would at the same time fail to mobilize productive facilities for our
war effort, and, therefore, it would adversely affect our wartime
economy. If business enterprises are boarded up, productive facili-
ties remain idle, inventories become unavailable, and some items of
property may go to waste or become a hazard by reason of neglect.
If patents are ''immobihzed'^ the efficiency of industrial production
will suffer because the patents are either not used at all or are used
under restrictive conditions. For these and similar types of property,
if they are to contribute to wartime, production, a positive program of
control and administration is called for.
It is clear, therefore, that the pohcy which may be appropriate for
cash and securities of an investment type is not adequate for other
assets. In the one case the war effort is served by making sure that
assets are not used. In the other case the war effort is adequately
served only by m^aking sure that the assets are fuUy used. This dis-
tinction between the requirements for controlling cash and investment
securities and the requirements for controlling other types of foreign-
owned property constitutes the logic of the allocation of functions
between the Treasury and the Alien^ Property Custodian.
This distinction between the treatment of enemy purchasing power
and enemy productive assets does not, however, afford a final solution
of all problems created by the control of enem-y property. While the
distinction may meet the necessities of the period of active war effort,
it does not provide for uniform treatment of all enemy property in the
> 15
allocation of the costs of administration and in the final settlement of
equities. The authority to apply imiform treatment to all enemy
property is already in existence and it is to be expected that the
agencies involved will cooperatively decide whether such uniform
treatment needs to be determined now, and to what extent it can be
left for later determination. The problem of uniformity of treatment
in the final settlement of equities will actually arise when the ultimate
disposition of controlled property or the proceeds of controlled prop-
erty is determined. If it is then decided to apply the value of enemy-
owned assets brought imder control to cover reparations to be col-
lected after the war, the present distinction between liquid purchasing
power and productive assets would obviously no longer be relevant.
And while this issue is one for the post-war period, some preliminary
indication of future policy would clarify certain aspects of the control
program.
Property Controlled by the Office of Alien Property Custodian
In consequence of the division of authority over foreign-owned prop-
erty between the Treasiu-y Department and the Office of Alien Property
Custodian, the dollar amount subject to the control of the latter con-
stituted only a portion of the total amount of foreign-owned assets in
the United States subjected to governmental control. The amount
is, of course, very small in relation to the total wealth of the country.
But although the amount of property which comes under the control
of the Office is not large, the importance of the function of the agency,
at a time when small deficiencies may have material effects on our
war economy, must not be underrated.
To begin with, the foreign-owned assets subject to the control of
this Office represent a substantial proportion of the particular kind
of assets in certain fields of economic activity. This is particularly
true of pharmaceuticals and certain other chemicals. The capital
and directive personnel of many of the firms in this field were supplied
by Germany. In addition, German-owned patents influence utiliza-
tion of a large volume of American-owned resources. Finally, there
are a large number of enterprises, each of small value, which must
be eliminated, their useful assets transferred to other enterprises,
their accounts receivable collected, their obligations paid off, and
their organization disbanded.
Enemy nationals. — It is the Custodian's policy to take (vest), with
few exceptions, all significant property interests in this country of
enemy companies and of individuals resident in enemy countries.
This is done because there is a strong presumption that in the absence
of control the assets involved would not be utilized effectively. The
owners and their agents are, it is true, interested in obtaining revenue
16 ^
from their resources; they may, however, have an overriding interest
in hampering our war effort. In addition, there is the danger that
pressure would be exerted by the enemy government on the original
owners and surreptitiously conveyed to their agents in this country.
And even if the assets involved were utilized effectively the income
derived from them can be used to finance propaganda, espionage, and
sabotage activities against om* war effort. Finally in some cases the
residents of enemy coimtries are in no position to exercise control over
their interests. The natiu-e of the situation makes it practically im-
possible to obtain satisfactory evidence for a determination of whether
or not these characteristics are present in each particular case. The
danger being as great as it is, it seems appropriate to take action in
all cases of enemy ownership.
Nationals of enemy-occupied countries. — Control over foreign-owned
property cannot be confined to the interests of enemy nationals. A
large part of the world has been overrun by the enemy and the terri-
tories involved are to all intents and purposes an integral part of
enemy territory. The enemy has not only looted these territories of
supplies and equipment immediately useful to him; he has also made
a systematic endeavor to acquire control over the economic systems
of these overrun areas. It may be assumed that as a rule the nationals
of such areas have no interest in using their property in ways harmful
to our cause. They cannot, however, exercise their rights of owner-
ship effectively and they can be subjected to enemy pressure. More-
over, some of these persons have identified themselves with the cause
of the enemy. When investigation discloses this fact, their assets in
the United States are vested just as is the property of the residents
of enemy countries. In other cases control is established and exer-
cised through the issue of supervisory orders enabling this Office to
control the operations of the properties and to safeguard the interests
of the nationals of enemy-occupied countries, leaving legal title in the
hands of the original owners, except in the case of patents, which are
vested, and of copyrights which are also vested when necessary for
efficient administration.
Property oj other residents oj enemy and enemy-occupied countries. — ■
Citizens of the United States, of AUied and of neutral countries who
happen to reside in enemy or enemy-occupied countries do not neces-
sarily have any interest in hampering our war effort. At the same
time they are not in any position to exercise their rights of ownership
and they may be subjected to the pressure of enemy governments.
Investigation of specific cases may disclose that residence in enemy
coimtries is not accidental and that certain persons have become per-
manent members of the enemy community. In these cases the prop-
erty of such persons is vested. In other cases, control is generally
^ 17
established and exercised through the issue of supervisory orders as
in the case of nationals of enemy-occupied countries.
Proclaimed list. — The proclamation of the President (July 17, 1941)
"authorizing a proclaimed list of certain blocked nationals and con-
trolling certain exports" provides that any person on the proclaimed
Ust shall be deemed to be a national of a foreign country for the purpose
of section 5 (b) of the act of October 6, 1917, as amended, and shall be
treated as though he were a national of Germany or Italy for all pur-
poses under Executive Order No. 8389, as amended. Individuals
and companies are placed on the proclaimed list by the authorities
designated in the proclamation when it is determined that they are
acting for or on behalf of enemy countries or nationals of enemy
countries. Hence, whenever such individuals or companies have
interests in property in the United States which falls under the
jurisdiction of this Office, such interests are vested or supervised.
Presence on the proclaimed list is sufficient for the taking of action
by this Office. Close contact is maintained with the State Depart-
ment on matters involved in this field.
Property of residents oj the United States. — In the case of aliens who
are detained or interned, it sometimes becomes necessary to take
action affecting property of residents of the United States. Action
in these cases is necessary mainly because of the abandoned or un-
supervised condition of the property involved. For example, an
establishment with a small amount of strategic machine tools was
closed upon the apprehension of the owrer-manager. In another case
a food store was left abandoned upon the apprehension of the operator.
When an enemy alien is first detained it is the policy of this Office to
take only such action as is necessary to alleviate health or other hazards
and to supervise the property of such persons until the interning
authorities reach a final decision. When this decision is to release the
detained person, supervision of the property by this Office is generally
removed. When the final determination results in an order of intern-
ment the information previously gathered from the investigation of
the affairs of the internee becomes the basis for determining which
property should be subjected to further control. Generally speaking,
it is the policy of the Office to treat the fact of internment as prima
facie evidence that the internee's property should be brought under
the direction, management, supervision or control of the Custodian.
In the administration of the policy each case is treated on its individual
characteristics and a considerable measure of discretion is exercised
so that the Government will not be burdened unnecessarily with the
task of handling personal property of insignificant value. The con-
trolling objectives in each case are to insure that useful property will
not be neglected or used against the national interest.

Ill
FORMS OF CONTROL USED BY THE ALIEN
PROPERTY CUSTODIAN
Three basic forms of control are employed by this Office in dealing
with properties within its jm^isdiction whenever, after investigation,
it is determined that action is required. Each of these forms of
control is exercised through a separate type of order — vesting order,
supervisory order, or general order.
The first form of control is exercised through the issuance of a
vesting order by which the Custodian, acting as a representative of
the United States Government, takes title to specified foreign-owned
property. Vesting orders are being used in connection with enemy
interests in property, including interests in business enterprises, which
come under the jurisdiction of the Office and in connection with most
foreign interests in patents, trade-marks, and copyrights which are
subjected to control.
The second form of control is exercised through the issuance of a
supervisory order which provides for ' 'direction, management, super-
vision, and control" over specffied foreign-owned property without
transfer of ownership. Supervisory orders were used during the past
year in connection with the assumption of control over enemy
interests in business enterprises. Such orders were issued when
ownership control was in American hands and there was reason to
beheve that the management was disloyal to the national interest.
They were also used in some instances to prevent the harm that
might be done in the period between the vesting of enemy ownership
rights and the exercise of these rights to acquire control over opera-
tions. As it is now the practice of the Office to incorporate the
supervisory order in all vesting orders affecting enemy interests in
business enterprises, it is no longer necessary to issue separate super-
visory orders in these cases, except as a preliminary to vesting. This
is now done where investigation, for example, would be facilitated by
the issuance of a supervisory order.
^ 19
As a distinct and complete form of control supervisory orders are
being used in connection with the control exercised by this Office
over the interests of the residents of enemy-occupied countries in
business enterprises located in the United States and over the property
of internees. This is now the principal use which this Office is making
of supervisory orders. But they are also being used in special cases
where flexible control is required and where the transfer of title is not
appropriate.
The third form of control is exercised through the issuance of
general orders. In contrast with vesting and supervisory orders,
which apply to specifically defined pieces of property, general orders
and related regulations apply to certain classes of property and
require persons having interest therein to perform certain acts or to
refrain from their performance. General orders have been used, for
example, to require the filing of information with this Office and
to control the ffiing of patent appHcations in the name of foreign
nationals. A list of all general orders issued to June 30, 1943, will
be found in Exhibit B, p. 132.^
The disestabhshment of control varies with the type of order which
has been issued. Under a supervisory order the Custodian does not
acquire title to property but only the right to control its use and
operation. Hence, when the necessary objectives have been accom-
phshed, control can be abandoned merely by revoking the original
order and thus returning mauagement rights to the existing owners.
Under a vesting order which transfers title to the Custodian, release
of control over vested property can be effected through the sale of
the ownership right or by the allowance of claims filed in respect
to the property.
Although the rights of former enemy owners are transferred to the
Custodian when vesting orders are issued, this action is completely
neutral with respect to the issue of compensation for the displaced
owners. This issue is not determined by the vesting order. It is
left for future decision when both the principle and methods of com-
pensation can be worked out as part of the general settlement of post-
war problems. In the meantime a full and accurate record is kept
of the property vested and of its disposition so that the required infor-
mation may be at hand to carry out future policy.
A procedure has now been established, under regulations issued on
March 25, 1942, for the receipt and disposition of claims by nonenemy
persons to property vested by this Office.^ These regulations pro-
vided for the filing of claims on Form APC-1, and for the creation of a
> Special orders have been used to effect specific objectives such as the cancellation of certain pre-war
employment contracts. For a list of such orders see Exhibit C, p. 133.

committee to be known as the Vested Property Claims Committee
composed of three members appointed by the Custodian.^ The com-
mittee is authorized to formulate its own rules and procedures and
to hold hearings after appropriate notice. Claimants and the Alien
Property Custodian are entitled to representation by counsel or
otherwise at hearings held by the committee. Final decision on any
claim is made by the Custodian after receiving the findings and
recommendations of the committee.*

IV
INVESTIGATION
The Problem of Investigation
Before control in any form is exercised by the Custodian, investiga-
tion is necessary with respect to property subject to the authority of
this Office. The objectives of investigation are, first, to identify
enemy property in the coimtry which is subject to the jurisdiction of
this Office; second, to identify all property interests of nationals of
enemy -occupied countries in business enterprises, patents, copyrights,
trade-marks and ships with respect to which the national interest
requires that this Office take action; third, to determine and establish
proof of the beneficial ownership of property which comes within
the jurisdiction of this Office.
The reports presenting the results of investigation provide the
basis for the findings required of the Custodian with respect to
nationality and ownership of the property in question and for the
determinations required by Executive Order No. 9095, as amended.
They also furnish the precise identification of property which is
necessary for the preparation of vesting and supervisory orders.
The investigative powers exercised by the Office of Alien Property
Custodian are powers delegated to the Custodian by the President
who in turn derives them from the Trading with the Enemy Act of
October 6, 1917, as amended. By Executive Order No. 9095, as
amended, the President delegated to the Custodian the powers given
to him by section 5 (b) of that act to make such investigations and
require such reports as he deems necessary or appropriate to deter-
mine whether any enterprise or property should be subject to the
jurisdiction and control of the Alien Property Custodian. The
amendment of the Trading with the Enemy Act by the First War
Powers Act of 1941 strengthened the President's investigative powers
with respect to foreign property in that he is now authorized not only
to require the production of books of account, records, contracts,
leases, memoranda, or other papers, but also to require their seizure
if it is necessary to the national security or defense.
22 ^
The identification of ownership or control of property has been
comphcated by widespread efforts which have been made by enemy
nationals to conceal or cloak beneficial ownership. Some of the more
important enemy (particularly German) concerns, for example, have
resorted to the use of holding companies incorporated in neutral
countries. To avoid the appearance of hasty transfers for obvious
purposes of cloaking ownership, defunct corporations or corporations
whose names were well known in financial and commercial circles as
nationals of neutral countries were resurrected or acquired by enemy
companies. In some cases the technique of incorporating a holding
company in a neutral country was combined with a system of loans
and options to bring about an even more intricate cloaking device.
The following case involving a business enterprise is indicative of
the lengths to which these efforts at concealment of ownership of
foreign property have been carried: A substantial loan was obtained
by a parent German company from a bank in one neutral country, the
American subsidiary of the German company guaranteeing this loan.
Meanwhile, ownership of the American subsidiary was transferred
to a holding company in another neutral country. Stock of the hold-
ing company was then registered in the name of a bank of the first
neutral country, although management or control was retained by the
German company through a collateral agreement with the bank.
Through a series of new loans and repayments of old loans, the Ameri-
can subsidiary company became indebted to a domestic bank, em-
ploying the funds thereby obtained to pay off the foreign loans of the
parent company and the cloaking holding company. As a result of
these intricate transactions the German parent company not only re-
ceived, indirectly, the proceeds of the loan made by an American bank,
but retained control of its subsidiary, though giving up record owner-
ship but not beneficial ownership of the subsidiary company's stock.
The task of investigation is complex also because of the broad
grant of discretionary authority under Executive Order No. 9095, as
amended, to determine whether action shall be taken in specific cases
and what type of action shall be taken. This requires that investi-
gation do more than establish the fact that the property in question
is owned or controlled by persons subject to the authority of this
Office. Identification of ownership is, of course, in every case the
primary concern of investigation. At the same time, in order that
administrative discretion as to the proper action to be taken may be
exercised intelligently, the investigation must also disclose adequate
information concerning the nature of the property and its use. Ac-
cordingly, investigation has been broad enough to include available
data on such matters as the relation of the property to the war pro-
gram, its productive potentiality, and any management, labor, or
^ 23
production problems that may exist. Such information is helpful
not only in determining whether and what type of action shall be
taken but also in formulating recommendations for the administration
of the property once it has been placed under the control of the Office.
Finally, the task of investigation is complicated by the necessary
distinctions in treatment of various classes of property which are
called for under Executive Order No. 9095, as amended.
The Executive Order holds, for example, that action may be taken
with respect to a business enterprise which is a national of a foreign
country only "when it is determined by the Custodian and he has
certified to the Secretary of the Treasury that it is necessary in the
national interest, with respect to such business enterprises, either (i)
to provide for the protection of the property, (ii) to change personnel or
supervise employment policies, (iii) to liquidate, reorganize, or sell,
(iv) to direct the management in respect to operations, or (v) to
vest." Such certification need not be made, however, in the case of
a business enterprise which is a national of an enemy country. The
Executive Order permits the Custodian to take action with respect
to patents, patent applications, design patents, design-patent applica-
tions, copyrights, copyright applications, trade-marks, trade-mark
applications, and ships or vessels which are property of ''foreign"
countries or ''nationals" of such countries, but in the case of property
which is in the process of administration by persons acting under
judicial supervision or which is in partition, libel condemnation, or
other similar proceedings, ownership or beneficial interest must be
held by a "designated enemy country or national thereof" before the
Custodian can take action. Other property within the United States
must also be owned or controlled by a "designated enemy country or
national thereof" to be within the jurisdiction of the Office of Alien
Property Custodian.
Ultimately, the national interest may require vesting or supervisory
control of all property of nationals of enemy and enemy-occupied
countries. When the Oflice of the Alien Property Custodian was
established, however, the immediate and pressing need was to assure
prompt action with respect to property of the most significance. It
was therefore essential that the administrative policy of the Office
be highly selective as to the priority accorded investigation of specific
classes of property and specific classes of enemy nationals. Hence,
the order of selection of cases for investigation has been regarded as
a matter of great importance.
Initially this Office gave its attention to a number of cases suggested
by Foreign Funds Control of the Treasury Department. When this
Office was established, the Foreign Funds Control had been in existence
for nearly 2 years and through supervision and investigation of foreign-
24 ^
owned property had obtained evidence indicating that action to vest
or otherwise control specific property was desirable in a substantial
number of cases. The Alien Property Bureau of the Department of
Justice had also initiated investigations in a number of instances prior
to the establishment of this Ojffice. Necessary supplemental investi-
gations were conducted on these cases and action taken with as great
dispatch as circumstances permitted. Simultaneously, new cases of
high urgency were constantly coming to the attention of this Office
and investigation of these was carried on concurrently with investiga-
tion of cases originating in the Foreign Fimds Control and the Alien
Property Bureau of the Department of Justice.
In determining the priority with which foreign-owned property
should be investigated and acted upon, the primary consideration has
been the objective to insure that all business enterprises and other
properties important in our economic organization are utilized effec-
tively. High priority has been assigned to ''war-useful" property.
Consideration has also been given to the protection of the interests
of nationals of occupied countries.
The thoroughness of investigation has not been permitted to inter-
fere with promptness of necessary action. After the outbreak of war,
it was obviously desirable that the government take control of all
business enterprises in which there was a very high probability that
enemy influences were dominant. The precise legal proof of this
enemy ownership was frequently delayed until there was time for
painstaking establishment of facts. .
Investigation does not terminate with the assumption of control
over specific property. Supplementary investigations in cases in
which the majority of the stock of a corporation was initially taken
have frequently disclosed minority interests which originally were
supposed to be American but which were in fact controlled by the
enemy. Such investigations then result in supplementary vesting
orders. Moreover, the data obtained in the process of investigating
ownership will assist in the making of decisions on claims filed against
the Custodian. All cases are, therefore, being perfected and put
in a form which will be useful in connection with all hearings and
reviews.
Investigation frequently requires examination of papers and
records in the possession of affected parties. This has been particu-
larly true in cases in which efforts have been made to conceal the
true facts of beneficial ownership. Yet, because of the willingness of
the parties to cooperate with the Government, or their knowledge of
the penalties provided for the refusal to do so, or other reasons, this
Office has rarely found it necessary to serve formal orders for the
production of papers under penalty. It is gratifying that while the
> 25
Office of Alien Property Custodian has the authority to require the
production of all papers necessary to full and thorough investigation,
informal requests and persuasion have brought the desired results.
Many persons have volimtarily come to this Office with information
that has been helpful in locating enemy interests. In many important
cases, residents of this country and citizens of allied countries have
given valuable assistance in the solution of cases of cloaked enemy
ownership even at some hazard to friends and relatives resident in
the occupied countries.
Sources of Information
An important source of information for the investigation work of
this Office is the census of foreign-owned properties taken by the
Treasury Department before this Office was established. Antedating
the establishment of this Office by several months, the census did
not fully anticipate the specffic requirements of the program of vest-
ing and supervision provided for under Executive Order No. 9095,
as amended. It was, nevertheless, sufficiently informative to make
imnecessary the taking of a new census, and this Office has limited
its general inquiries to supplementary reports with respect to certain
types of property, such as patents, patent applications, and copy-
rights. The formal orders calling for these special reports have
been issued in conformity with the regulations of the Division of
Statistical Standards of the Bureau of the Budget. Care has been
exercised to keep the number of questionnaires to a minimum.
The census of foreign-owned property of the Treasury Department
was carried out under the authority of Executive Order No. 8389, as
amended. Reports under oath had to be filed on or before October
31, 1941, with the Federal Reserve Bank, or the governor or high
commissioner of the territory or province of the United States in
which the reporting party lived or had his place of business. A
report was required from every agent or representative in the United
States for any foreign country or any national of a foreign country
having information on property subject to the jurisdiction of the
United States on June 1, 1940, or on June 14, 1941, in which on
these dates any foreign country or national of such a country had
any interest direct or indirect. Every person in the United States
was required to report with respect to all such property which was
in his custody, control, or possession, directly or indirectly, on either
or both of the same dates.
The reports submitted to the Treasury Department have been
useful as a check list of foreign-owned property. In most cases it was
necessary to supplement them by obtaining more precise descriptions
of the property involved and by investigation into the stated
^ 26
nationality, since efforts to conceal true ownership have been wide-
spread. With respect to some types of property, particularly busi-
ness enterprises, the information contained in affidavits filed with
the Foreign Funds Control in connection with applications for licenses
to operate such businesses has been fully utilized within the limita-
tions imposed by the purposes, self-serving natiu*e, and dates of these
affidavits.
Sources of information available through other governmental
agencies are used whenever possible. In this category are reports,
files, and data collected by various units of the Department of Justice
including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Antitrust Division,
the Ahen Enemy Control Unit, the Special War Policies Unit, and the
Immigration and Naturalization Service ; the Patent Office ; the Office
of Strategic Services; the Intelligence Units of the War and Navy
Departments; the Secm-ities and Exchange Commission; and other
governmental agencies as occasion arises. It has constantly been
the purpose and desire of this Office to avoid retracing the investi-
gatory steps already taken by other governmental agencies.
In a nmnber of cases preliminary investigation of business enter-
prises has been supplemented by temporary supervision of the prop-
erty involved. In cases of this type a supervisor is appointed to
scrutinize the transactions of the enterprise to the extent required
to determine aU facts relating to ownership and control.
Patents, Patent Applications, and Patent Contracts
For the investigation of patents, patent applications, and patient
contracts it has been necessary to employ special techniques, owing
partly to the imique character of such property and partly to the
special types of records used for registering its ownership.
In the case of patents the scope of investigation has been determined
to a large extent by a decision made soon after the estabhshment of
this Office, namely, that it should endeavor to vest promptly aU
patents owned by persons in enemy and enemy-occupied countries,
except those in which a bona fide American or Allied interest exists;
the latter were reserved for later action.
The method employed was to hst from the official records of the
United States Patent Office all unexpired patents issued to residents of
enemy and enemy-occupied countries. From this list there were
excluded all patents concerning which reports on the existence of an
American interest had been received under General Order No. 2,^
i General Order No. 2, issued by the Alien Property Custodian, June 15, 1942, requires the filing of a
report on Form APC No. 2 by any person claiming any right, title, or interest in or to: (1) Any patent if It
was granted to a "designated foreign national," or if a "designated foreign national" has or has had since
January 1, 1939, any interest in the patents, or if the inventor is a "designated foreign national" and the
patent issued after January l, 1939; or (2) any patent application if the inventor is a "designated foreign
national" or if any such national has or had at any time an interest in the application.
^ 27
and all patents concerning wliich a report had been received under
General Order No. 3/ stating that the patent holder is at present not
residing in an enemy or enemy-occupied country. The first group
represents patents which required further investigation to determine
the extent of American interests ; the second group represents patents
owned by persons who have fled enemy territory. Both groups are
being carefully examined to determine further vestible property.
After these exclusions were made, there remained a list of approxi-
mately 35,000 patents, which could be presumed to be enemy owned
or controlled. All were vested — those of enemy residents on October
2, 1942, and those of nationals of enemy-occupied coimtries in De-
cember 1942. It was realized, of course, that some errors would
result from this large-scale activity, and a procedure has been estab-
lished for the prompt correction of such errors.
The vesting of patents was not delayed during the preparation of
the hsts described above, but proceeded concurrently. For example,
the Custodian vested a substantial number of patents under which
American firms desired to obtain licenses and which on the records
of the United States Patent Office were enemy owned. All patents
carried on Patent Office records as owned by certain large German
companies, such as Kobert Bosch, Junkers Aircraft, and Siemens &
Halske, were vested, as were a number of German-owned patents
about which information was received from sources believed to be
reliable, even though there were outstanding licenses.
Investigation in the field of patents is not confined to patents
which are entirely foreign owned; it also includes those in which there
is only a partial foreign interest. Special effort is being made to
bring to light enemy interest in patent property in cases in which an
effort has been made to cloak true ownership. To this end individual
studies are being made of pre-war acquisitions of patents from
persons who are now enemy nationals.
Another phase of the investigative work in the field of patents is
that involving patent contracts. The basic source of information on
these contracts is the reports filed with this Office under General
Order No. 2. It is believed that the analysis of these reports, which
has aheady resulted in the vesting of some patent contracts, will be
completed during 1943, and will result in the vesting of the enemy
interest in a substantial number of patent contracts as well as a large
number of patents.
When the United States entered the war, there were many patent
» General Order No. 3, issued by the Alien Property Custodian, June 15, 1942, requires the filing of a report
by any person to whom a patent was granted while he was a citizen or resident of a foreign country and any
person claiming any interest in such patent, and who, since the filing of the application for the patent, has
changed his citizenship or moved out of any foreign country other than an American Republic, a country of
the British Commonwealth of Nations, or the Soviet Union.
28 ^
applications owned by residents of enemy and enemy-occupied
countries. Some of these had been filed with the United States
Patent Ofiice, while some had not yet been filed. The former group
of applications was disclosed to this Ofiice by the Patent Office,
That agency continues to receive some appHcations in this category,
but all these must now be reported to this Office by the terms of Regu-
lation No. 2,^ as amended, under General Order No. 11, and are vested
if they are found to be o\vned in fact by persons living in enemy or
enemy-occupied territory. Information concerning patent apphca-
tions not yet filed with the United States Patent Office has been ob-
tained through General Order No. 12,* which requires that such
property be reported. Some applications disclosed in this way which
axe the property of persons resident in enemy or enemy-occupied
countries have been vested, but it has not been determined that all
such appHcations will be vested as a matter of course.
In cooperation with the United States Patent Office this Office is
also investigating abandoned patent applications filed by residents of
enemy and enemy-occupied countries. It is believed that among
these applications there will be found some which have not been
prosecuted because of a desire to avoid disclosing information useful
in the war effort of the country.
The United States Patent Office has assisted greatly in the patent
investigations of this Office. Arrangements have been made for the
reimbursement of the Patent Office for special expenses arising from
this service.
Copyrights
Investigation in the field of copyrights has been directed primarily
toward disclosing copyrighted material of importance in the war
effort. Other objectives are to insure that royalties due to nationals
of enemy and enemy-occupied countries will be preserved through
payment to the Custodian, and to protect the interests of foreign
nationals against unauthorized transfers by American nationals hold-
ing subsidiary interests in the copyrights. No attempt has been
made to locate all copyrights owned by persons resident in enemy
or enemy-occupied territory.
The bulk of the investigative work performed during the past year
related to scientific literature. Through the seizure of copyrights to
such material it has been possible to make arrangements for its repro-
duction, and thereby to replenish depleted stocks of urgently needed
works. Copyrights relating to dramatic compositions, photographs,
motion pictures, and musical compositions have also been investi-
» Executed by the Alien Property Custodian January 6, 1943 (8 Fed. Reg. 291).
* Executed by the Alien Property Custodian November 17, 1942 (7 Fed. Reg. 9476).

gated. Some investigations were initiated in response to specific
requests made to this Office by persons desiring licenses under copy-
rights.
A general program of dealing with copyright property was estab-
lished under General Order No. 13 * and General Order No. 14.^ The
former prohibits transactions with respect to copyrights by, on behalf
of, pursuant to the direction of, or with any ''foreign country" ^ or
any national of such a country except under licenses granted by the
Office of Alien Property Custodian. General Order No. 14 requires
the submission of reports on Form APC-18 by persons having any
interest in any work subject to copyright if the person obtained an
interest in the work from a ''designated foreign national"^ since
January 1, 1939, or if the interest so obtained has been recorded
in the Office of the Kegister of Copyrights since January 1, 1939, or
if a "designated foreign national'* now has an interest in the work
and monies have been paid or become payable by the person to any
such national since January 1, 1939.
The APC-18 forms were sent out to approximately 1,800 individuals
and companies, including music-licensing associations, radio broad-
casting affiliations, music ^publishers, manufacturers of records,
electrical transcriptions, book publishers, theatrical producers,
motion-picture companies, and producers and agents dealing in copy-
righted material. Over 500 replies have already been received of
which 160 reported royalties due to designated foreign nationals,
and another 160 reported previous payment of royalties, and licensed
withdrawals, but no current amounts due.®
The 160 reporters who indicated that royalties were due to desig-
nated foreign nationals sent in over 800 individual reports, each of
which includes a variable number of items from one to 30,000 copy-
righted works. The analysis already made of these reports indicates
that over $600,000 in royalties was already due to designated foreign
nationals.
A number of business enterprises engaged in the exploitation of
copyrights have been investigated, and as a result one such enterprise
has already been vested as an enemy national.
Real and Personal Property
Investigations have been conducted relative to enemy-owned real
estate, including farm lands, city dwellings, and apartment houses

and enemy-owned personal property of various types. As a result
of these investigations, the real estate of more than 100 enemy na-
tionals has been vested. In each case it was necessary to determine
ownership, to obtain information with respect to the location, con-
dition and value of the property, the righjbs of tenants, the interests
of other persons in the land, and the correct legal description.
Obligations secured by real estate mortages have also been investi-
gated, and in a number of cases the interests of enemy mortgagees
in obligations secured by mortgages on American real estate have been
vested so that the American mortgagor may pay his debt and obtain
clear title to the mortgaged premises.
In personal-property matters priority in investigation has been
given to those cases in which the property was blocking port or rail-
road facilities or was of strategic value. As a result of such investiga-
tion, for example, two carloads of steel bars owned by an Italian
concern which had stood on a siding in the New Jersey freight yards
for almost 2 years were vested, as well as such personal property
as cameras, radios, binoculars, textile machinery, alloy steel scrap,
seamless steel tubing, and oil-well machinery. In these cases the
Office of Alien Property Custodian has cooperated closely with the
War Production Board, the Board of Economic Warfare, and the War
and Navy Departments.
Investigation has been made also of the property rights of enemy
nationals who are the beneficiaries of trusts holding American real
estate, cash and securities. Preliminary surveys of this field indicated
that enemy-held interest ran into many millions of dollars. After a
number of cases had been investigated and vesting orders issued by
this Office, it became clear that this type of vesting could be post-
poned in favor of real and personal property matters of a more urgent
nature, since in most cases American trustees have full authority to
deal with and manage the property in the national interest. In those
cases in which enemy interests were vested, the Custodian merely
assmned the position of the beneficiaries and did not interfere in any
way with the trustees.
The Office of Alien Property Custodian has cooperated with the
Department of Justice and the War Department in handling the prob-
lems created by the detention and internment of enemy aliens in this
country. Because of the sudden apprehension of such aliens, many
of them are compelled to leave their property in an unprotected and
unmanaged condition. In New York City, where the problem is the
most acute, information has been obtained concerning the property
of every alien detained at ElHs Island. If the alien had no friends or
family to look after his property, the Alien Property Custodian took
supervision of it, in order to hold, manage, or seU it as cirCtunstances
1^ 31
might require. However, in order to avoid burdening the Government
with the care of personal effects and property of small value, this type
of action by the Custodian has been confined to a relatively small num-
ber of cases in proportion to the number investigated. When the
alien has been interned as a potentially dangerous enemy, the Alien
Property Custodian has in some cases vested all of- his property, to be
disposed of in the same manner as the property of enemies who are
within enemy territory.
Property Administered in Judicial or Administrative Proceedings
Under section 2 (f) of Executive Order No. 9095, as amended, the
Alien Property Custodian may direct, manage, supervise, control, or
vest interests of enemy nationals in estates, in certain types of trusts
and in property involved in litigation. In addition section 5 of the
order authorized the Custodian to represent the persons within enemy
or enemy-occupied countries in court actions and administrative pro-
ceedings and to issue regulations governing the service of process or
notice upon persons within enemy or enemy-occupied territories.
These powers are granted to permit this Office to act when wartime
conditions interrupt normal procedures in such cases. In the absence
of these special arrangements the orderly processes of the courts and
administrative officers would be impeded.
To obtain the information necessary to administer section 2 (f)
of the order, this Office issued General Order No. 5 which requires
all persons or officers acting under judicial supervision or in any court
or administrative action or proceedings or in partition, libel, condem-
nation, or other similar proceedings to ffie a report of any property or
interest in which there is reasonable cause to believe a designated
enemy country or designated national has an interest. Reports
under this order were required to be filed by October 1, 1942, on
Form APC-3. The American Bankers Association cooperated with
this Office by distributing copies of the order to its members along
with instructions for complying with the order. Over 7,000 reports
have already been received and additional reports are being received
as other cases come within the provisions of the General Order. These
reports are referred to the field offices for appropriate action by staff
attorneys in order that the interests of the designated nationals may
be fully ascertained, and recommendations for vesting of such interests
be prepared in appropriate cases.

V
PROPERTY VESTED
Between March 11, 1942, and June 30, 1943, this Office issued
1,792 vesting orders. These orders are classified in table I by type
of property vested and by nationality of former ownership. An
individual order frequently covers more than one type of property
and some^of the orders relate to property owned by nationals of two
or more countries. In the table the orders have been classified
according to the principal type of property vested and under the
nationality with the more important ownership interests.
The largest number of vesting orders was issued in connection with
the enemy interests in estates and trusts; approximately one-fifth of
the orders were issued in connection with the enemy interests in
business enterprises; approximately one-sixth of the orders were
issued in connection with the foreign interests in patents, patent
a pplications, and patent contracts ; copyrights and trade-marks account
for 4.4 percent of the orders issued, real property and tangible personal
property accoimt for approximately 10 percent of the orders issued.
Approximately two-thirds of the orders issued were used to acquire
title to property of German nationals; about 11 percent for property
of Japanese nationals; over 14 percent for property of Italian nationals;
10 percent for property of all other nationals.
The gross value of property subjected to control through vesting
and related supervisory orders totaled approximately $356,000,000 at
the time of vesting. The items included in this sum are: the esti-
mated gross value of the assets of 318 enterprises ($334,000,000), the
estimated value of 93 lots of tangible personal property ($1,000,000),
the estimated value of 141 parcels of real estate (including mortgages
and miscellaneous property taken to maintain vested real estate, but not
including real estate owned by real-estate holding companies, already
included as part of the assets of business enterprises) ($2,000,000),
the estimated value of the interests vested in 675 estates, 213 trusts,
^ 33
and miscellaneous property involved in litigation ($18,000,000), and
the estimated value of miscellaneous claims and securities ($1,000,000).
No estimate can be made of the value of the patents, trade-marks, and
copyrights which have been vested. The value of ships vested is also
excluded in the above total.
The values given in the preceding paragraph have no necessary
correlation with the amount of cash which the Custodian is likely to
realize in the conversion of the various types of property. For

1 Orders vesting more than one type of property are classified according to the principal type vested . Orders
vesting property of aliens of more than one nationality are classified under the nationality with the greater
ownership interest.

classified under "Business Enterprises."
example, the value of the assets of business enterprises, $334,000,000,
includes the nonenemy interest in these firms. It also includes a large
volume of foreign assets which are of no value in the event of hquida-
34 ^
tion. Furthermore, deductions need to be made for the American
claims in the form of bonds or open accounts against these assets.
Finally, the assets of vested enterprises, especially banking and in-
surance corporations, include some claims against other vested enter-
prises. It is to be expected that in most cases the value as given in
the preceding paragraph is gi'eater than the amount of cash which may
eventually be realized. Some offset to this may be expected from
cash realized by the Custodian in the form of income prior to con-
version and income which may be realized from intangible rights,
such as patents, trade-marks, and copyrights. Excluding such in- *
tangible property, it is estimated that the value of the vested enemy
interests is approximately $125,000,000.
Business Enterprises
Under 361 of the vesting orders issued during the past year, this
Office acouired title to the former enemy ownership in 318 separate
business enterprises. The number of separate imits subjected to the
control of the Office is in fact larger, as all vested branches of each
foreign enterprise are treated as a single enterprise. Moreover, a

number of the vested enterprises had interests in subsidiaries and
affliates which were not vested separately. The Custodian succeeded
to such interests in proportion to those he acquired in the vested
enterprise. Thus, for example, the important ^firm of Winthrop
Chemical Co., does not appear among the vested enterprises although
through the vesting of General Aniline & Film Corporation this Office
acquired title to 50 percent of the capital stock^of Winthrop.
Tables II and III show the number of business enterprises vested,
according to the type of business organization, the character of the
alien interest vested, the nationality of the former ahen owners, and
the degree of control acquired by the Alien Property Custodian.
Approximately 73 percent of the enterprises are corporations. In
26.4 percent of the cases, rights in addition to proprietary rights were
vested. Approximately ""one-half of the vested interests in enter-
prises were formerly the property of German nationals and 40^percent
were formerly the property of Japanese nationals.

Since control ot operatioas in the case of corporations is exercised
through some form of stock ownership, generally common stock with
voting rights, the procedure employed has been to take over the enemy
interest in the outstanding shares. With the emphasis which is
placed by this Office on o\^^lersllip which carries with it control over
the operations of an enterprise, the vesting of enemy interests in
enterprises has been confined to cases where ownership by one or more
enemy nationals constituted actual or potential control of the enter-
prise. For this purpose enemy ownership of 25 percent or more of the
outstanding capital stock has been accepted as a practical criterion of
control. This, however, is not the only criterion for taking action.
Only in exceptional cases, where special circumstances require that
action be taken by this Office with respect to smaller enemy interests
in an enterprise, have such interests been vested. In point of fact
100 percent of the controlling interest was taken in 202 of the enter-
prises, and in more than 95 percent of the corporate cases the Office
vested 25 percent or more of the outstanding capital stock.
The necessary action, such as control over payment of dividends
in cases where enemy nationals have interests in a very small propor-
tion of the outstanding shares of an American enterprise, is provided
by the freezing control of the Treasury Department.
The major types of economic activity in which the vested enterprises
were engaged, together with the estimated value of their assets, are
shown in table IV.

It is significant that most of the seized enterprises are relatively
small concerns. While the average value of assets for all vested firms
is approximately $1,051,000, the average value of the assets of the
141 enterprises engaged in wholesale and retail trade is only $316,000
and of the service enterprises cTnly $64,000.
Approximately 44 percent of the enterprises were engaged in whole-
sale and retail trade. These, however, account for only 13 percent of
the total assets, while 18 enterprises engaged in the manufacture of
chemicals accoimt for 36 percent of the total assets. Of the chemical
manufacturing companies, General Aniline & Film Corporation is the
largest. Important also in this field are the American Potash &
Chemical Corporation and the Buffalo Electro-Chemical Co., the
latter being the largest manufacturer of hydrogen peroxide in the
United States. Twenty-six of the vested enterprises are engaged in
miscellaneous manufacture and these account for another 8 percent
of the total assets. In this group the American Bosch Corporation is
the most important.

Twenty-eight of the vested enterprises were engaged in banking and
insurance, with estimated assets of $81,000,000. Sixty, with estimated
assets of $48,000,000, were engaged in other financial operations such
as real-estate holding companies, investment trusts, patent-holding
companies, etc. Transportation and related services account for 21
of the enterprises and $7,000,000 in total assets. The balance of the
vested firms were engaged in agriculture, mining, petroleum, and the
service industries.
Table V shows the geographical distribution of the vested enter-
prises. Over 60 percent of the total number are located in New York
while 15 percent are located on the Pacific coast. The balance is
widely scattered among 14 States, the Hawaiian Islands, and Puerto
Rico.
Patents, Copyrights, and Trade-marks
Table YI shows the number of patents, patent appHcations, con-
tracts relating to patents, copyright interests, trade-marks, contracts
relating to trade-marks, inventions, formulas, and processes which
have been vested in the Alien Property Custodian to June 30, 1943.
Of the patents vested, 25,725 were taken from the residents of enemy
countries, principally Germany; 10,950 were owned by the residents
of enemy-occupied countries. Of the vested patent applications,
3,444 were taken from the residents of enemy countries, again princi-
pally Germany; 1,313 were owned by the residents of enemy-occupied
countries.
In point of numbers, the 72,119 copyright interests formed the
largest group of property vested. Over 70,000 of these represent the
foreign interest in works of music and these are divided about evenly
between rights of Italian and French music publishers. "J

Note— "Copyright interests" are based upon the number of works to which they relate; owing to the
peculi ar nature of this property no break-down into particular types of interests was possible. In the vest-
ing of "Trademarks," the formulas, processes, and goodwill connected therewith were also vested; no trade-
marks are involved in the "Formulas and Processes" separately listed.
Additional intangible property was acquired through the vesting of business enterprises.
^ 39
To June 30, 1943, a total of 380 trade-marks had been vested. Of
these 364 were owned by residents of enemy countries and 16 by
residents of countries occupied by the enemy.
Patents. — The vested patents comprise approximately 5 percent
of the total number of unexpired patents now registered with the
United States Patent Office. The range of inventions patented
includes all but four of the 300-odd standard classes of the United
States Patent Office. Table VII shows the classes of patents vested
as of January 1943. Since that time some patents have expired, some
have been divested, and some additional vestings have been, made.

Copyright interests. — The nature of the copyright interests which
^ 45
have been vested is shown in table VIII. In addition to the 70,342
copyrights of music works, 783 copyrights of periodicals, 504 copy-
rights of books, and 496 copyrights of motion pictures have been
vested. Most of the copyrights of books, periodicals, and motion
pictures were formerly the property of German nationals.
In contrast with the program of patent vesting, copyrights are
vested on a selective basis. The number of copyrighted works which
stand in the names of residents of enemy and enemy-occupied coun-
tries is so great as to make the vesting of aU of them a task of pro-
hibitive size. Moreover, because copyrights are of such long life,
and because the rate of publication during the early years often cares
for the demand of a much longer period, many live copyrights are
valueless. The policy of this Office has, therefore, been to vest and
license for reproduction only those copyrights which relate to scientific
or technical works which are important in the war program or in
essential civilian production, as is , shown through the requests of
private individuals and governmental agencies, and those which pro-
duce royalties large enough to represent a significant potential source
of income.

» Film footage, to which these rights obtain, amounts to approximately 3,180,000 feet.
Trade-marks. — Trade-marks, because they identify the commercial
source of the products so marked, and sometimes indicate their geo-
graphical origin, construction, and quality, represent . important
sources of income and are instruments for informing consumers and
for improving the efficiency of distribution. They', represent the
goodwill of the business in which they are used insofar as they have
gained consumer acceptance. There are some 6,000 trade-marks
which are registered in the United States Patent Office in the names of
46 ^
nationals of enemy and enemy-occupied countries. Nearly 4,000 of
these trade-marks are in the names of enemy nationals.
It may be desirable to continue the use of certain of these enemy
marks in connection with products which Jiave been or can be manu-
factured in the United States without risk of consumer deception.
American firms already have interests in many of them as a result of
bona fide pre-war agreements or as a result of legitimate use and these
interests acquired in good faith are entitled to protection. There is
a double duty in such cases of conserving the American firm's interest
in the trade-marks and of protecting the public against deception.
This Office intends to supervise and vest selectively enemy trade-
marks and the goodwill of the business which they represent and to
eliminate all enemy influence. Royalties, when due and payable,
will be collected. The selective vesting of trade-marks and their
appropriate disposition by this Office will make possible the continued
use of those trade-marks which have been identified with American
manufacture or distribution.
Control will also be exercised over all trade-marks of nationals of
enemy-occupied countries to prevent their abuse or misuse and to
protect the interests of those nationals loyal to the cause of the
United States.
Property Administered in Judicial or Administrative Proceedings
Asof June 30, 1943, this Office hadissued 881 vesting orders to estab-
lish control over property administered in judicial or administrative
proceedings. Almost all of these orders (861) were issued to vest the
enemy interest (principally German) in 888 estates and trusts. Of
these estates and trusts, 20 are guardianship estates, 196 are trusts
imder wills, 17 are trusts inter vivos, and 655 are ordinary estates.
The procedure followed in the case of estates and trusts is to present
a vesting notice through the executor to the court in charge upon which
the enemy interest in the estate or trust is deeded by the court to the
Custodian. In estate cases specific items of property bequeathed
and cash representing the beneficiary interest in the estate are trans-
ferred to this Office. In trust cases arrangements are made to collect
the accruing income from the trustee.
In addition to the vesting activities in the field of property imder
judicial administration, this Office has taken other measures to rep-
resent persons within enemy and enemy-occupied countries in court
or administrative action and proceedings. To effect such representa-
tion. General Order No. 6^ was issued, permitting service of process
in all cases in which property rights of persons within enemy or
enemy-occupied countries are involved, by transmittal of a copy of
I Executed by the Alien Property Custodian, August 3, 1942 (7 Fed. Reg. 6199).
^ 47
such process or notice to this Office. In accordance with the terms
of^the order, this Office may accept service by filing an acceptance
thereof with the appropriate court or administrative body within 60
days^of the receipt of such process or notice. Acceptances are filed
in^' all cases in which it]is determined that such action is in the national
interest. As of June 30, 1943, attorneys have been designated to
appear in approximately 1,000 cases.
In addition, this Office issued General Order No. 20, which, in effect,
prohibits any payment, transfer, or distribution of property involved
in any judicial or administrative proceeding for the benefit of any
person within an enemy or enemy-occupied country unless the
Custodian consents thereto or disclaims any interest in representing
the national involved. This order prevents any distribution which
might be prejudicial to the national interest.
Real and Personal Property
During the period March 11, 1942, to June 30, 1943, there were
issued 115 vesting orders affecting 175 separate real-estate properties,
including the interests of enemy mortgagees in 34 obligations secured
by mortgages on American real estate, and 63 vesting orders affecting
some 93 lots of tangible property.
The tangible personal property vested includes shipments of ma-
chinery and many types of raw materials lying on docks. These are
individually small but frequently involve strategic materials. Even
if not important on their own account seizure of such property is
necessary in order to release storage space and transport facilities for
more important uses.
Table IX shows the types of real property that have been vested
by the Custodian. Of the 141 parcels, 91 improved properties are
located in urban areas. Approximately 62 percent were formerly
owned by German nationals.
Ships
One vesting order was issued relating to 29 Axis vessels, of which
27 were Italian and 2 German. This order was issued under section
2 (d) of Executive Order No. 9095, as amended. The vessels involved
were actually seized by the United States Government in 1942, prior
to the establishment of this Office which intervened in order to clarify
the legal situation arising from the entrance of admiralty actions by
the agents of the Italian and German owners of the vessels. The
ships have been and are imder the administration of the United States
Maritime Commission and the War Shipping Administration.
There is only one other case in which this Office has taken jurisdic-
4S ^
tion over vessels under section 2 (d) of the Executive order. This
was a supervisory order affecting four Japanese fishing vessels and
like the vesting order was also issued in order to clarify the legal
situation.

Note— This table does not include property in which only the rights of mortgagees were vested.
Other Vested Property
In addition to the property falling in the classes described above,
16 vesting orders were issued up to June 30, 1943, involving miscel-
laneous property. Eight of these orders vested miscellaneous claims
and securities not involved in Htigation; 6 vested safe-deposit box
leases; ^ and 2 vested miscellaneous contracts.
Other property of a miscellaneous nature was vested under vesting
orders which primarily involved major types of property discussed in
previous sections. Thus, 63 insurance policies were vested under the
vesting orders dealing with real or tangible personallproperty. The
same vesting orders included 82 bank accounts, 54 miscellaneous
claims, and 4 lots of security holdings. Six miscellaneous contracts
and 3 safe-deposit box leases were vested imder orders dealing pri-
marily with other types of property.
» The vesting of safe-deposit box leases does not involve vesting the contents of the boxes. The primary
purpose is to facilitate the investigation of other enemy property, the records of which may be included in
the contents of the boxes.

VI
PROPERTY PLACED UNDER SUPERVISION
In addition to the control established over property described
above, this Ofl&ce was authorized to and has made use of, supervisory!
orders, by which control was established over property without the
transfer of title to the Custodian. The use of this type of order was
not employed until August 25, 1942. Between that date and June
30, 1943, a total of 159 supervisory orders were issued, of which 10
were superseded so that 149 separate properties were subjected to
control by means of supervisory orders. Of these 149 supervisory
orders no less than 98 applied to properties in which the enemy
interest was also vested prior to June 30, 1943. These properties are
included in the description of vested properties given in the previous
section. Under the remaining supervisory orders control was estab-
lished over properties with a total value of approximately $20,000,000.
Supervisory orders have been used principally to exercise control
over property of the business-enterprise type. The orders can be
divided into two groups:
(1) Seventy-five of the orders were issued to supplement vesting
orders issued prior to or simultaneously with the issue of supervisory
orders. In 55 of these cases the orders were issued in connection with
business enterprises where a majority of the foreign-owned interest
was vested. In these cases full control over the operations of the
enterprises was obtained by acquisition of the majority of the owner-
ship rights. The supervisory orders were employed as an interim
device enabling this Office to assume control over the operations of
the enterprises without the time-consuming corporate procedure
involved in assuming control through the acquisition of ownership
rights under the vesting orders.
In the other 20 cases the supervisory orders were issued in connec-
tion with business enterprises where only a minority of the outstanding
shares were vested. In these cases the supervisory orders were issued
50
because it was determined that control over the operations of the
enterprises was necessary in order to discharge the functions of this
i Office. The rights of minority ownership acquired under the related
Vesting orders did not provide the authority for exercising this type
'of control.
The practice of issuing supervisory orders supplementary to vesting
orders was abaadoned at the end of 1942. The objectives obtained
by the supervisory orders are now accomplished by inclusion of the
powers obtained under supervisory orders in all vesting orders issued
in connection with business enterprises. Hence, whenever the
foreign interests in any business enterprise are now vested this Office
also obtains the power to ''direct, manage, and control" the enterprise
as a whole.
(2) Seventy-four of the supervisory orders were issued in order to
assume control over property not vested at the time the orders were
issued. These orders can be subdivided into the following groups:
Twenty-three orders (excliiding 9 that were superseded) were
issued to establish control by this Office over enemy-owned banks
and insurance companies. These enterprises were already undergoing
liquidation under the supervision of governmental authorities at the
time this Office was established. The use of supervisory orders
brought these enterprises within the jurisdiction of the Office and
established the authority for taking any required action while the
liquidation was proceeding. All but 1 of the 23 enterprises have
since been covered by vesting orders.
Nine orders (excluding one that was superseded) were issued to
facilitate investigation of beneficial ownership and of the necessity
for fm-ther action. The ordinary means of investigation were not
adequate in these cases. One of the companies has already been
vested. Whether the others will be vested depends upon the results
of the investigations now taking place. In the meanwhile, control is
exercised through the issue of licenses authorizing ordinary business
transactions.
Twenty-six supervisory orders were issued to estabhsh control
over property owned by residents of the United States. The use of
these orders made it possible to estabhsh the necessary control and
to give consideration to the special circumstances arising in these
cases. Most of the orders in this group were issued in connection
with the property of internees. In general, action was taken because
internment or detention left the property in a state of dereliction.
In a few instances, because of the known activities of the owners as
disseminators of Axis propaganda, action was taken in order to make
close siu'veillance possible.
Five supervisory orders were issued to estabhsh control over busi-
^ 51
ness enterprises owned by nationals of enemy-occupied countries
This type of property represents an important field for the us(
of this instrument of control. The limited use of supervisory ord ere
in this field is due to the fact that during the past year the work ol
the Office was concentrated on establishing control over enemy-
owned property. The existing management of business enterprises
owned by nationals of enemy-occupied countries may . be assumed to
be satisfactory in the absence of specific evidence to the contrary.
The principal objective of control in these cases is to protect the
interests of the foreign owners. These circumstances justify super-
vision less comprehensive than in the case of enemy-owned enterprises.
The need for control arises mainly where wartime circumstances
have left foreign-owned properties without adequate or adequately
authorized management. The use of supervisory orders provides
all the authority required to meet the war-time requirements.
Finally, 11 supervisory orders were issued to establish control
in special cases such as over the property of United States citizens
resident in enemy countries aod of citizens of neutral countries.

VII
ADMINISTRATION OF CONTROLLED
PROPERTY
The discovery of enemy control over property located in the United
States, the effective displacement of that control, and the prompt
adoption of measures necessary to assure a continued and effective
utilization of controlled property in the existing economic organiza-
tion have occupied the major attention of this Office during the period
covered by this report.
All property vp'hich comes under the control of this Office is admin-
istered in accordance with accepted business principles and by stan-
dards of obligations expected of informed and loyal persons in time of
war. In the case of business enterprises, consideration is given to the
longer range interest of the enterprise as well as the immediate issues
of war production where these do not conffict. All burdensome limi-
tations which stem from former enemy control, such as contractual
arrangements restricting output and sales, and confining the fields of
enterprise and maintaining prices, are removed and a general effort is
made to reactivate competitive forces.
The administration of controlled properties is allocated among
various operating divisions of the Office. Primarily these divisions
are organized along property lines^patents, trade-marks and copy-
rights, estates and trusts, and business enterprises — with the latter
divided between an operating and liquidation division.
Business Enterprises
When formal control of a business enterprise is established by the
issuance of an appropriate vesting and/or supervisory order, the order
is served upon the affected parties and brought to the attention of
banks and others who may be concerned. Utilizing the information
about an enterprise contained in a report embodying the original
investigation and such additional information on the condition of the
enterprise as can be readily obtained, a preliminary choice is made
^ 53
between maintaining the enterprise as a going concern and liquidating
it on a piecemeal basis. Where it is obvious that the enterprise has
no particular place in our economic system, liquidation is the appro-
priate method of disposing of the assets. In this way the productive
assets as well as the labor employed are promptly released to other
producers. This is being done, for example, in the case of enter-
prises in the field of distribution which were dependent upon imports
for their business, and in the case of enterprises rendering services
that are fully covered by noncon trolled enterprises. In a substantial
number of cases the decision to liquidate enterprises was made before
the Custodian assumed control. This was true of all banks and insur-
ance companies, which prior to vesting were undergoing liquidation by
governmental authorities.
When it is determined that an enterprise should be liquidated by
sale of its assets and not as a going concern it is referred to the Divi-
sion of Liquidation. Enterprises to be operated as going concerns
are administered by the Division of Business Operations. Patent
holding companies, however, are referred to the Division of Patent
Administration . ^
Of the 318 vested enterprises 89 are for the time being administered

This Office assumes complete responsibility for the operations of
vested and supervised enterprises. It exercises this responsibility
by assuring continuous and satisfactory management. Existing
management is retained wherever it is determined that complete
confidence can be placed in it. To do otherwise would result in an
unnecessary disturbance of management and would retard the war
effort. Only where enemy control has penetrated the management of
enterprises and there is an apparent lack of full cooperation with the
policies of the Office have steps been taken to restaff the active manage-
I ment personnel as well as the board of directors.
' Once satisfactory management is assured the details of business
operations are left in the hands of this management with supervision
by this Office limited to assisting the management in formulating
policies consistent with those of the Office, to obtaining current data
on the operations of the enterprises and to providing those services
which will maximize the contribution of the enterprises to the war
effort. In exceptional cases field representatives of this Office are
situated at business enterprises whose activities are vital to the war
effort so that daily reports may be made available to the Office and so
that the views of the Office may be available to the management at aU
times.
In all cases where only a minority interest has been vested or a
supervisory order has been issued without a vesting order, and also,in
certain cases where a majority of the outstanding stock or the physical
assets have been vested, control is exercised through the issue of au-
thorizations (on Form APC-10) . The provisions incorporated in these
authorizations vary greatly. In some cases, every transaction must be
approved by a supervisor; in others normal operations may go forward
without specffic approval. When authorizations call for the approval
of transactions by a supervisor, a member of the staff is designated to
administer the case.
A somewhat different procedure is foUowed in the administration
of enterprises holding and managing real estate and of individual real
estate properties which are also assigned to the Division of Business
Operations. After the vesting order is recorded in accordance with
the provisions of local real-estate law and provision is made for ade-
quate insurance coverage responsible real-estate brokers are employed
to collect rents and manage the real-estate properties under general
supervision of this Office.
With the exception of real estate, which is being handled by the
Division of Business Operations, all vested property to be liquidated
has been assigned to the Division of Liquidation. The 275 cases
^ 55
so assigned, up to June 30, 1943, included 212 vested enterprises and'
63 other cases.
Table X shows the estimated gross liquidation value of the vested
property included in the 275 cases assigned to the Division of Liqui-
dation up to June 30, 1943. Of the $78,880,000 expected from
liquidation, nearly $52,000,000 will be obtained from liquidating 28
banks and insurance companies. Nineteen of these financial cor-
porations were formerly owned by Japanese nationals and their assets
in liquidation are expected to yield approximately $40,000,000 or over
one-half of the total estimated liquidating value of the 275 cases.
In addition to the 28 banks and insm^ance companies, 184 other
vested enterprises have been assigned for liquidation. The liquidat-
ing value of these firms is estimated at approximately $26,000,000.
Japanese nationals formerly owned 97 of these enterprises, while 78
were owned by German nationals. The reason for the liquidation
of most of these firms is apparent from the nature of the enterprises.
One hundred and twenty enterprises were engaged in wholesale and
retail trade and it is estimated that the Alien Property Custodian
will receive over $22,500,000 from their liquidation. Twenty firms
were engaged in transportation and related services and the liquidat-
ing value of these firms will approximate $1,700,000. Twelve small
manufacturing firms will probably liquidate for around $600,000; 14
service enterprises for less than $200,000; 17 miscellaneous financial
and holding companies for slightly more than $1,000,000; and 1
small petroleum company is expected to yield less than $50,000 in
liquidation.
The Division of Liquidation is also handling 17 cases of property
which has not been vested but which has been subjected to control
under supervisory orders. The total estimated liquidating value of
this property is approximately $1,400,000. Nearly $1,200,000 of this
total, however, represents the estimated liquidating value of a single
bank in which the enemy interest has not yet been vested. Over 83
percent of the total estimated value involved in the 17 cases of super-
vised property represents cash. ^
In the liquidation of business enterprises the procedure followed is
determined by the type of control exercised by the Office. If control
has been obtained by the vesting of the capital stock of corporations,
the procedure is normally the same as that which would be employed
by private owners. As the holder of the stock of the enterprise, this
Office directs the liquidation of the business through the existing or
through newly elected directors and officers. In cases in which control
has been obtained by vesting the assets of an enterprise, as in the case
of proprietorships, partnerships, or domestic branches of foreign com-
panies, employees of this Office take possession of the assets and pro-

Note. — All value figures are estimates based upon best available information. Intangibles such as
patents and good wiU are assigned no value. Cash includes cash at vesting dates plus proceeds of liqui-
dation to date. Claims are interpreted as all present or future rights to money or services; they include
chiefly claims for tax and customs refunds and a claim against the Canadian Custodian.
ceed with their sale. In most cases, the normal business operations of
the enterprise to be liquidated are immediately suspended. In a few
instances, however, business enterprises have been permitted to
continue operations when it appeared that liquidation could be most
effectively carried out in this way. In aU cases, when liquidation is
substantially complete, the funds are transferred to a special accoimt
in this Office. In some cases, full liquidation of accounts receivable
^ 57
and other intangibles will not be possible until after the war. When
liquidation is complete except for these intangibles, the proceeds will!
be transferred to special accounts in this Office.
The 63 liquidation cases not involving business enterprises consist
mainly of personal property, miscellaneous securities, and claims.
Their total estimated liquidating value is less than three-quarters of
a million dollars. Twenty-five of the 63 cases involve property for-
merly belonging to German nationals, 16 to Japanese nationals, 12 to
Italian nationals, and 10 to nationals of other countries.
It is significant that over 65 percent of the total fimds expected from
liquidation of vested property is already in the form of cash. Approx-
imately 15 percent of the total is represented by accounts receivable, 1
while investments and tangible property represent only 11 and 7
percent, respectively. Expeditious methods of liquidation have been
developed for the wide variety of types of property indicated above.
Special efforts are made to direct assets needed in the war effort
into the hands of purchasers who will use them in war production.
Procurement officers of the United States Government are always
given preference in the sale of such assets. If the goods offered for |
sale are subject to price regulations of the Office of Price Adminis-]
tration or to the restriction orders of the War Production Board, sales
are made in accordance with such regulations or orders. The assets
of business enterprises may be sold as a unit to a single purchaser, in i
bulk lots to several purchasers, or, in some cases, they may be disposed
of by a series of sales during limited operation of the business. When-
ever liquidation of a business enterprise involves substantial lots of
property, the proposed sale is properly advertised. In some cases of
liquidation an appraisal of the value of the assets is obtained from
competent authorities. Offers are then solicited from prospective
purchasers and sales are made providing the highest offer received is
within 10 percent of the appraised value.
Illustrative of the problems encountered by the Division of Liqui-
dation is that arising from the fact that many of the business enter-
prises being liquidated had extensive dealings, prior to the time when
they were vested, with banks which are also now being liquidated.
These banks in turn had engaged in transactions with their home
offices in foreign countries and with other branches throughout the
world. The involved financial transactions which grew out of these
relationships create many difficult problems in the liquidation of the
enterprises and banks in question.
Patents^ Patent Applications , and Copyrights
All vested patents, patent applications, trade-marks, copyrights,
contracts relating to these and business enterprises, whose assets con-
58 ^
sist primarily of patents, copyrights, and trade-marks, are referred to
the Division of Patent Administration.
Our primary objective in the administration of patents subjected
to the control of this Office is to promote then* widest possible use.
This objective is carried out by the preparation and dissemination of
information regarding the nature of vested patents and patent applica-
tions, by direct promotional activities undertaken to stimulate a broader
use of the techniques and processes covered by vested patents and
patent applications, and by a licensing program designed to facihtate
the immediate and full use of vested patents in the prosecution of the
war program and for the production of commodities essential to the
civilian economy.
Where vested patents are already under license, we are modifying
existing arrangements insofar as possible to eliminate restrictions over
price, quantity of production, geographical areas, or fields of use.^
All royalties due under vested patents are being collected, thus cutting
off a possible source of income for the enemy and protecting the
private interests of residents of occupied territory. We are pub-
lishing patent applications to make the covered techniques broadly
available to American industry and prosecuting the important
applications.
In promoting the use of vested patents we have enlisted the coopera-
tion of many technical experts from American industry, the help of
the Chicago section of the American Chemical Society, and other
organizations of scientists in abstracting and evaluating vested patents.
Classified lists of all vested patents and patent applications, arranged
according to the United States Patent Office Standard Classifications,
have been prepared and circulated. These classified lists provide the
number of the patent, title of the invention, and other identifying
information. Catalogs may be secured by any interested manufac-
turer at a cost of $5 to cover the expenses of printing, complete with
supplementary and correction service; individual classes, with certain
exceptions, are sold for 10 cents each. By June 30, 1943, 2,979 com-
plete catalogs and 4,855 separate sections had been sold. The sale
of 312 binders made total income from this source on June 30, 1943,
$20,119.48.
In addition reference libraries are maintained in the New York,
Chicago, and Washington offices for use by people interested in vested
patents and patent applications. Copies of the catalog as well as
printed copies of valuable patents have been placed at various meetings
of manufacturers and of scientific and professional societies as a means
of interesting possible licensees.
3 This aspect of the patent program will be greatly facilitated by the vesting of patent contracts. During
the past year there were issued 137 vesting orders covering 195 patent contracts.
^ 59
Government war agencies are being supplied with information oi
patented inventions useful to the war effort. Initial cooperation has
been principally with the Army and Navy; the War Production Board's
Referee Committee; the Office of Production Research and Develop-
ment; Office of Rubber Director; Petroleum Administrator for War;
and Office of Scientific Research and Development. These have been
supplied with specific information in their fields of interest, ranging
from communications and ordnance to special chemical problems and
atomic energy. Inventions have been uncovered relating to poly-
merization of synthetic rubber by means of neutrons, helicopters,
' the manufacture of sugar from wood, high-octane gasoline, gyroscopes,
sponge iron, metallurgy, medicine, optical and magnetic instruments,
radio and television, and mining equipment.
The material is drawn from five sources: (1) Issued patents; (2)
pending patent applications; (3) abandoned applications some of
which were probably abandoned on instructions of enemy governments
as a means of keeping information from American industry; (4) models,
blue prints, drawings, sketches, correspondence, memoranda of inven-
tions, and executed and unexecuted applications for patents, sub-
mitted imder general order No. 12; and (5) patents and applications
owned by vested corporations. Information is obtained relating to
previous use of vested patents. This information should lead to
saving of critical materials and skilled manpower and provide a basis
for further research.
There are about 15,000 applications for patents filed by residents of
enemy and enemy-occupied countries which became abandoned before
or during the first part of the war. These are being abstracted and
the abstracts filed for ready reference. A necessary step in the pro-
duction of nitroglycerin from petroleum production was discovered
among the abandoned applications, completing the disclosiu-e in the
issued patents. In another case careful search of the abandoned
applications and of the material filed under general order No. 12
revealed that a particular line of research had apparently been
neglected by the Axis.
Patent applications are ordinarily maintained in strictest secrecy.
However, the technical subject matter of vested pending patent
applications is being published in order to give American industry
immediate access to this valuable information. Any qualified patent
attorney or technician may obtain permission to inspect the files
of enemy-owned applications, and by June 30, 1943, 2,936 such per-
missions to inspect had been granted: Printed copies of the drawings
and specifications of these patent applications are being sold by the
Patent Office on the same basis as copies of issued patents.
This Office is prosecuting all pending patent apphcations which
60 ^
are vested. Upon allowance of an application the established fee
of $30 is paid and the patent is issued to the Alien Property Custodian.
^Patent applications are prosecuted in order that patents may issue
to the rightful inventor and not go to others by default. Prosecution
will eliminate the possibility of the published inventions becoming
the subject of an application for a patent by someone other than the
inventor and will prevent the creation of uncertainties as to the
patentability of new inventions because past claims were never
properly examined. It will also preserve the value of patent appli-
cations for post-war disposition.
All pending patent applications are carefully reviewed to deter-
mine whether fm'ther prosecution is desirable. The commercial
importance of the inventions, the chances of obtaining a patent by
further prosecution, and the protection which could probably be ob-
tained in any patent which might issue are fully considered by a com-
mittee of duly qualified experts. As of June 30, 1943, out of 4,698
vested patent applications 1,396 had been allowed, 231 as a result
of prosecution by this Office; 1,117 were involuntarily abandoned,
and the rest were in active prosecution.
The granting of original licenses to vested patents not already
licensed and the granting of additional licenses under patents already
licensed represent the basic means of promoting full utilization
of vested patents. Before any license is issued a careful check is
made of all existing rights. A simple, standard, nonexclusive, roy-
alty-free license form has been prepared for enemy patents which
can be issued as soon as all necessary investigation of existing rights
in the patent has been completed.
On June 30, 1943, a total of 348 applications for licenses had been
received covering 2,400 patents and 118 patent applications, formerly
owned by enemy nationals and 55 patents formerly owned by resi-
dents of enemy-occupied territory. During the same period, this
Office issued 107 licenses covering 354 former enemy-owned patents
and patent applications. A list of licensees is given below.

Typical licenses already issued are for high explosives, collapsible
boats for the Navy, fire-fighting material, power transmission, inter-
mediates for pharmaceuticals, a magnetic alloy composition, aluminum
production, surgical bandages, electrical current amplifiers, synthetic
resuscitants, machine tools, camera equipment, and die presses and
machines for stretching and drawing metal. Eighty percent of issued
licenses went to businesses with a net worth of below $10,000,000.
Approximately 30 percent of license applications received come from
businesses w^ith a net worth of less than $1,000,000, and approximately
25 percent of the licenses granted have gone to businesses of this size.
One of the licensees listed above gave up an exclusive license which it
held under enemy patents for the manufacture of monochlorobenzene
and phenol, in exchange for a non-exclusive, royalty-free license and
further agreed to permit this Office to license two of its own patents,
royalty-free. The processes covered by these two patents were
essential to the exploitation of enemy patents held by this Office,
and the result is to open up for use by any American manufacturer
this technique for production of a critical war material.

An important contribution to the production of Atabrine has been
made in connection with the patents of an enterprise in which the
snemy interest was vested. As a result of vesting nearly all of the
outstanding capital stock of General Aniline and Film Corporation,
the Custodian acquired approximately 50 percent ownership of the
capital stock of the Winthrop Chemical Co. which owned certain
patents involved in the production of Atabrine and Plasmochin. At
a conference of representatives of interested government agencies
m May 8, 1942, the responsibility for ultimate decision in all matters
concerning the production of Atabrine and Plasmochin was delegated
bo the Alien Property Custodian.
Atabrine is the basic synthetic antimalarial drug; Plasmochin isre-
[juired only in relatively small quantities in the treatment of various
stages of malaria. The production of adequate quantities of these two
irugs was a matter of vital importance to the successful prosecution
3f the war. The fall of the Dutch East Indies deprived the United
N^ations of their principal source of quinine (96 percent of the world
supply), the classical antimalarial drug. Immediately upon the
assumption of the responsibility concerning the production of Ata-
Drine and Plasmochin, the Custodian undertook a thorough study of
ill aspects of the production and use of these products. He desig-
lated two men from his staff to work directly with agencies interested
n these drugs, including the producing companies and government
procurement agencies.
In May 1942, the Winthrop Chemical Co. arranged for a significant
jjicrease in the rate of production. By early fall of 1942, as a result
3f many conferences with the British Supply Mission and the various
claimant agencies in this country, it was decided to increase the .1943
production of Atabrine in the United Nations to an amoimt equivalent
n antimalarial activ^ity to the output of quinine in 1941. However,
ate in the winter of 1942, a reexamination of requirements resulted
n doubling the amount to be produced in the United States. Twelve
mportant pharmaceutical companies are participating in the enlarged
production program. All of these companies will operate for war
Diu-poses on royalty-free licenses granted by Winthrop Chemical Co.
md are being given the complete benefit of Winthrop 's knowledge
md experience in the manufacture of this complicated drug.
Copyrights
Republication of scientific works is necessary*to provide material
'or industries, research workers, and scientific societies and other
)rganizations and professions engaged in war work. A Scientific
Republication Advisory Committee, representing four leading national
jouncils of learned societies, libraries, and Federal agencies interested
^ 63
in the use of research material, aids the Custodian in the selection and
republication of important scientific works. Royalty arrangements
are designed to promote republication at a minimum cost without
granting windfall profits to publishers. (See attached list of repub-
lished titles.)
The Custodian vests the rights of foreign nationals in contracts
relating to copyrighted material and amends the contractual conditions
so that publishers may^melt down and junk plates of outdated enemy-
owned books. This aids the War Production Board in its program of
obtaining stocks of copper and other metals. I
The Custodian has authorized the use of vested motion-pictirre films
by Government agencies and for educational purposes. Through an
arrangement with the Library of Congress, and with the cooperation
of the Musemn of Modem Art film library, an index to all vested
motion-picture film is being prepared. The films are being processed
by the Library of Congress.

THE DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY
It is the policy of this Office to transfer to private enterprise all
vested properties except patents and copyrights,^ as soon as appro-
priate measures are taken to remove the influences of enemy control
and as soon as satisfactory terms of sale can be arranged. Departures
from this general principle will be made only when, in order to carry
out certain foreign-policy commitments, it is necessary to retain
specific enterprises for the time being. Substantial progress has al-
ready been made in carrying out this policy in connection with the
vested enterprises which are being liquidated by sale of assets. The
assets of these enterprises are now being sold and their legitimate
liabilities are being paid off. When liquidation is completed the busi-
ness organizations will be disbanded. Substantial progress has also
been made in disposing of vested tangible property and of real estate
vested directly or belonging to real estate holding companies. The
estates and trusts in w^hich the enemy interests were vested are in
point of fact under the administration of court officials. As this
administration is completed, this Office will receive the enemy interests
in the form of cash, except when specific bequests result in the receipt
of specific properties. The latter will, in turn, be converted to cash.
Of the enterprises which were assigned to the Division of Business
Operations to be maintained as going concerns, only three have so far
been sold, and one of these was in fact liquidated by sale of the assets.
Two companies — Rare Chemicals, Inc., and The Boehringer Corpora-
tion— were operated as a single enterprise engaged in the manufacture
of certain medicinal specialities, and a tanning product in the manu-
facture of which industrial alcohol is a byproduct. The concerns held
patents and processes covering certain pharmaceuticals and part of
the synthetic hormone field. These patents and processes, together
with certain manufacturing facilities and options on real estate, con-
stituted the chief value of the two companies. The outstanding
1 For the treatment of patents, see pp. 73-7.
66 ^
capital stock of these companies was vested on May 26, 1942. The
decision to sell these companies as going concerns was based on the
desirability of maintaining the existing organization, and immediate
sale was prompted by the financial inability of the companies to
exercise options about to expire. Accordingly, a prospectus was issued
on July 11, 1942, a request for bids was inserted in several newspapers,
and the bid of $125,000 from the National Oil Products Co. of Harrison,
N. J., was accepted. The negotiations were completed on August
3, 1943, and the contract executed provides for the receipt by the
Custodian, under certain terms and conditions, of a portion of the
net profits derived from the utilization of the properties sold.
While the sale of these companies was carried out prior to the
issuance of General Order No. 26, which establishes the procedure
for sale of vested property, the procedure actually followed was sub-
stantially similar to that now in force.
The third company sold was Central American Plantation Corpo-
ration, a Delaware corporation, which operated important agricul-
tural properties in Guatemala. While its principal products were
coffee and sugar, the corporation also owned the largest concentrated
and accessible stand of cinchona trees available to the United Nations.
As quinine is produced from the bark of cinchona trees, the property
is of particular importance to the war effort in view of the loss of the
chief pre-war source of supply through conquest of the Dutch East
Indies by Japan.
The agencies of the corporation in Guatemala were on the Pro-
claimed List of Certain Blocked Nationals due to the predominantly
enemy character of the management of the properties in Guatemala
and the enemy ownership of a majority of the corporation's outstand-
ing capital stock. As a result of the extensive management changes
and the vesting by this Office of the enemy-owned shares (53 percent
of total outstanding) , the company was removed from the Proclaimed
List, thus freeing the conduct of its business from restrictions that
result from presence on the Proclaimed List. The company has since
been liquidated by the sale of its assets.
As a result of conferences held with representatives of the Guate-
malan Government, the Department of State, the Board of Economic
Warfare and other interested agencies, it was determined that the
sale of the company's assets to the Guatemalan Government and the
dissolution of the American company would both promote the national
interest and protect fully the interests of the American stockholders.
A preliminary agreement with the representatives of the Guatemalan
Government was executed on December 11, 1942, which provided for
the transfer of the real property assets of the company to the Guate-
malan Government for the assumption and payment by that Govern-
^ 67
ment of the outstanding defaulted mortgage on the property amount-
ing to approximately $1,800,000, and for the granting to the company
or its assignees the exclusive right to develop the cinchona property
for a period of 30 years. This exclusive right was subsequently
assigned by the company to the Defense Supplies Corporation in
return for a payment of $1,700,000. Final agreements were signed in
Guatemala on April 9, 1943, and ratified on June 14, 1943, by stock-
holders, including the Custodian, representing 72.7 percent of the
outstanding shares of the company. The shareholders will receive
approximately $75 per share when the corporation is finally dissolved.
The absence of a larger number of sales of the Custodian ^s interest
in enterprises to be maintained as going concerns is due to the neces-
sary delay in arranging the details of sale. As rapidly as circumstances
permit all enterprises in this group are to be sold. A special committee
has been established in the Division of Business Operations to assemble
the material necessary for offering these companies for sale. Pros-
pectuses, or similar material, which will provide prospective bidders
with all pertinent information of each company to be offered for sale
are now in the process of preparation and some of these will soon be
released to the public.
The principles under which all vested properties are to be sold
were established by General Order No. 26, issued June 9, 1943 (8 Fed.
Reg. 7628). As a general rule property will be sold at public sale with
each sale adequately advertised to contact prospective purchasers.
Sealed bids in writing are to be opened in public, and awards made to
the highest qualified bidders. When it becomes necessary to reject bids
the reasons justifying rejection will be stated. This method is best
calculated to protect the interests of the United States and of purchasers.
Departures from this rule will be made in selling property of small
value and in special cases regardless of the value when public sale
would not be advantageous.
The sale of property in lots of small value — $10,000 or less — may
be authorized at public or private sale with or without advertisement,
depending upon the character of the property. Adherence to the
general rule of public sale would frequently prevent the most efficient
disposal at the time and place of the most favorable demands and on
such terms as may be necessary to secure the market price. Private
sales can frequently be used to avoid unnecessary expense, delay, and
inconvenience.
Departures from the general rule of public sale will also be authorized
whenever an alternative form of sale is clearly more advantageous.
Thus, privately arranged sales will be used to dispose of perishable
commodities, of property whose retention entails undue expense, and
of rights which lapse. In selling real estate use can be made in ex-
68 ^ .
ceptional circumstances of recognized brokers. Some property will
be sold pursuant to regulations or instructions of agencies of the
United States and some to the United States and its agencies. Some
properties will be disposed of by sale on Government-regulated
securities and commodities markets.
Recommendation to sell specific property will be made by the chief
of the division, to which the property is assigned. Sales will be
authorized by the Custodian. The statement containing the terms
and conditions of sale will also include, where relevant, a statement of
hmitations on the classes of persons who will be permitted to buy.
Such, limitations will be imposed only when necessary to carry out
established national policy. Unless the Custodian otherwise directs,
no persons or business organizations shall be qualified to bid for, or
purchase, vested property if they are on the Proclaimed List of Blocked
Nationals, or not American citizens in the case of persons, and not
controlled by American citizens and not organized under the laws of
the United States or of any state in the case of business organizations.
The decision to transfer vested properties to private enterprise has
been adopted because of the generally accepted advantages of private
management. These properties do not difi'er technically from other
property in the United States which is continued under private direc-
tion in war as well as in peacetime. In all cases they were under
private direction, and they have no special characteristics which make
them unsuitable for private enterprise or unusually amenable to
government operations. Control of these properties was undertaken
by the Custodian not because of any superior ability of a government
agency to manage these properties but because of the danger that
enemy influences would result in the misuse of the resources, provide
a source of fimds for the support of enemy activities, or because the
suspension of communications left property without responsible
ownership. It follows that once the necessary safeguards against
these dangers are provided it is proper to entrust subsequent opera-
tion of these properties to private enterprise during the period of
war in the interest of the war effort and subsequently in line with
well-established national pohcy.
Continued administration of vested properties would involve this
Oflice not only in the selection of management but in continued
evaluation of its accomphshments. This would mean the assump-
tion of responsibility for a host of details with respect to such items
as methods of production, proper scale of operation, appropriate
pricing policy and labor relations. Activities of this character are
foreign to the effective operation of the Custodian's Office as an agency
of the Government. Hence, it is the pohcy of this Office to convert
^ 69
vested property (other than patents and copyrights) into cash and to
hold such cash in separate accounts until the Congress adopts a pro-
gram of ultimate settlement.
In the light of conflicting opinions which now obtain regarding the
ultimate disposition of controlled property, ranging from approval of
outright confiscation to complete compensation of the former owners,
it is perhaps necessary to add at this point that the program of con-
verting vested property into cash does not in any way prejudice the
character of any ultimate settlement which will appear appropriate in
the light of conditions and policies prevailing after the war. The
original owners are in general interested not in specific pieces of prop-
erty but in the economic value of their property as a source of
income. The current market price of any property represents the
best estimate of its economic value. The vested properties are in
general to be sold at the best prices which can be obtained under cur-
rent market conditions. Hence our program of selling vested prop-
erties is not incompatible with a possible decision to provide full
compensation of the former owners.
In carrying out the program of sale of vested properties, considera-
tion must be given to the objective of ''Americanizing" the property
involved (preventing a recurrence of "enemy domination"), fostering
the maintenance of private enterprise, and providing for the most
economical utilization of vested property within our system of private
enterprise. The first two issues are somewhat related and can prop-
erly be discussed together.
In accordance with the requirements of law vested property will be
sold to American citizens. We shall take all necessary measures to
make certain that property sold does not in fact fall into the hands of
the class of persons or firms from whom we are taking property. Be-
yond this it is necessary to have a clear understanding of what is
properly encompassed under ''enemy domination" which is to be
prevented.
Our program of transferring vested property to private enterprise
is based on the assumption that this wiU be the dominant form of
economic organization in the post-war world. This will turn out to be
a valid assumption only if effective competition is maintained; and
the task of maintaining effective competition at home will be signifi-
cantly simpler if the world markets are kept free from international
arrangements to restrict output, divide markets, and maintain prices.
Anything which can be done to prevent the reappearance of restrictive
international cartels will foster the liquidation of existing domestic
monopolies and assist in any general program which is adopted to
prevent the rise of new ones.
70 ^
We can assume, therefore, that it is not appropriate to place any
obstacles to the movement of either goods or investment funds
across national boundaries. Such free movement is essential to the
best use of the resources of each nation toward a continuous improve-
ment in the standard of living. It is not proper to eliminate foreign
investments and foreign business activity from our domestic markets
or from the markets of other countries which we expect our business
' enterprises to enter after the war. It will be desirable to prevent
permanently the acquisition of economic interests in the United States
by former enemies only when it seems probable that such acquisition
will lead to a weakening of competitive for<3es.
The type of foreign domination against which we must guard in
selling vested property consists of economic activity which eventuates
in monopolistic control of a given market. Our concern with this
problem arises from the fact that many of the firms now under the
control of this oflSce have played an important role in the cartelization
of world markets. It also derives from the fact that cartelization
has resulted from contractual arrangements between German and
American companies and the contractual interests of the German
companies are being vested by the Custodian.
To provide for the most economical utilization of vested property
within our system of private enterprise reliance can usually be placed
on the prices offered for such property, because price is a satisfactory
index to the public advantages to be derived from the use of the prop-
erty. By giving wide publicity to prospective sales and by soliciting
bids from all prospective purchasers the danger of fostering windfall
gains to private individuals will be minimized. The sealed bid pro-
cedure will prevent complicity on the part of prospective purchasers
and will promote the highest price offers. However, in order to accom-
plish the objectives of preventing a recurrence of enemy domination
and of reactivating competition, departures from the purely price
basis may have to be made.
Reference must first be made to the decision to rely mainly on the
selection of purchasers in order to accomplish these objectives rather
than to continuous supervision after sales are effected. In the last
war, the Custodian assumed the responsibility for preventing the
return of vested enterprises to German citizens. The Custodian
endeavored to carry out this responsibility through provisions in the
contracts of sale prohibiting any future transfers to German interests
and through trustee devices whereby stock transfers could be made
only after approval by voting trustees. These trustees were selected
in some cases by the Custodian and in other cases by the Custodian
and the stock purchasers. The voting trust agreements contained
provisions for termination after a stated period of time, ranging from
> 71
2 to 5 years. However, the voting trustees were authorized to termi-
nate the agreement prior to the closing date by unanimous decision,
and many of the agreements were in fact so terminated. The author-
ity conferred upon the voting trustees varied from full powers or-
dinarily accompanying legal and beneficial stock ownership to the
mere safeguarding against transfer of shares to Germans.
In fact, close connection with German interests was established in
many cases within a few years after the war. In some cases the
trusteeships were terminated by unanimous consent before the expira-
tion of the stated period, and in other cases German control was
reestablished through contractual arrangements without actual
transfer of the stock to foreign ownership.
As is stated above, it is our objective to prevent the transfer of vested
properties to any class of persons who are likely to utilize the acquired
properties to hamper the promotion of our national policy of main-
taining competition. This objective can best be achieved by careful
selection of purchasers rather than by continued supervision. In
this way the vested properties will be placed in the hands of American
management and assimilated with other American property. In
exceptional cases use may be made of voting trust arrangements to
preclude a transfer of shares, during a stated period, to former enemy
owners.
Where the Custodian has vested all or nearly all of the outstanding
capital stock of an enterprise, particular care must be taken in the
examination and choice of purchasers if reliance is to be placed on the
selection of purchasers as a means of carrying out the objectives of this
Office. In selling enterprises of this type, the Custodian is in fact
choosing the management. In these cases the Custodian must not
only remove enemy control and abrogate all restrictions of prices and
production, but he must also make certain insofar as it is possible to
do so that these practices will not be reintroduced.
If the latter responsibility is to be fulfilled, clear indication must
be provided that the sale of the property constitutes a real transfer
to ultimate owners rather than to intermediate agents. Hence,
whether the disposal is made through the sale of assets or through the
sale of securities, the Custodian must be satisfied that the purchasers
fully intend to maintain control over the enterprises sold.
The sale of business enterprises would be made to existing con-
cerns, to individuals, or to groups of individuals organized for the
particular purpose of operating a vested enterprise. In all cases the
selection of piu-chasers on the basis of the prices offered would be
subject to the following qualifications.
When the existing personnel or organization arrangement is favored
by the military authorities and when there is danger that a shift in
72 ^
control will interrupt or impair war production, an effort is made to
arrange terms of sale which will insure the maintenance of the existing
organization. Purchasers in need of resources to fulfill important war
orders are given preference over those carrying on less important
production or those with idle facilities. These considerations are
especially important where highly skilled and specialized employees
and facilities or secret processes or methods of production are involved.
In some cases the Custodian may find that prospective purchasers
were not only competitors of the enterprise to be sold, but had already
acquired so strong a position in a given industry that acquisition of
the vested property would enable them to dominate the market for
certain products. This would justify rejection of the highest bid in
favor of a smaller enterprise, or the search for other bidders if there
are no satisfactory purchasers. The same policy would be followed
where there is evidence that a vested property is sought merely for
the piu'pose of suppression in order to protect the existing investment
of the prospective purchaser.
In some cases, the Custodian has vested a minority portion of the
outstanding capital stock, and in a number of these the management
has not been suspect, and there have been no contractual arrangements
restricting production or sales. In these latter cases, the Custodian
has merely vested the securities, participated in the election of a board
of directors, and confined his supervision to that necessary to establish
completely the absence of any enemy influence. In those cases where
enemy control had previously extended to the management of the
enterprise, the responsibilities of the Custodian are somewhat broader
in character. Administration of these enterprises is directed to
obtaining the necessary change in management and to the adoption
of policies in accord with the standards of the community. No sale
of stock in this class would be made until these alterations were
effected.
When these alterations are made, all that is required is to effect
a change in ownership from enemy to American hands. Hence, dis-
position can take the form of sale of the vested securities to the highest
bidders or through public exchanges. Examination and selection of
purchasers is necessary only to assure that a competitor of the enter-
prise in question does not obtain a controlling interest which might
create or strengthen a monopoly position.
Patents
The treatment of patents by the Custodian differs markedly from
the policies adopted with respect to other types of vested properties.^
» A full statement of the patent policy of the Office was first published In January 1943 in a pamphlet
entitled "Patents at Work."
^ 73
The objectives to be accomplished, however, are the same. In the
case of patents, as with other productive resources, the program
adopted is designed to make the most effective utilization of these re-
sources during the period of war and in the post-war economy within
our system of private enterprise. The program is designed to bring
into industrial use as quickly as possible those inventions and processes
covered by vested patents and patent applications which will promote
the prosecution of the war or contribute to the maintenance of our
essential civilian economy, and to assure the widest possible use of the
inventions and processes in the post-war economy. For reasons out-
lined below, it has been determined that these objectives can best he
achieved by retaining title to all vested patents at least for the dura-
tion of the war. Hence, no patents are sold.
Patent rights unlike most other properties vested by the Custodian
confer certain monopoly privileges on their owners. Moreover, in a
great many instances the vested patents relate to basic techniques
which have an important bearing on the current efficiency of produc-
tion of a wide range of industries and a significant influence on the
future development of new inventions. The widest possible use of
inventions and processes covered by vested patents can be obtained by
making them generally available to all American producers without
charge. Exceptions are necessary in those instances in which existing
rights of American citizens must be recognized and to protect the
interest of nationals of enemy-occupied countries. Unrestricted use
of patented processes by all who may wish to employ them does nob
create the problem of allocation which would arise if physical properties
were to be made freely available.
Enemy countries. — In granting licenses under vested patents those
taken from enemy countries are treated differently from those taken
from residents of enemy-occupied territories. Patents taken from
enemy countries are licensed on a nonexclusive, royalty-free basis,
wherever no Americans have previously acquired rights in these pat-
ents in the form of exclusive licenses. The granting of nonexclusive
licenses under vested patents assures the widest possible utilization of
the inventions and processes covered by these patents and the granting
of royalty-free licenses assures the largest possible output of patented
products or under patented processes. The restrictions which result
from exclusive licenses with royalty payments imder our patent laws
are justified as a means of compensating the inventor for his efforts
in creating the invention, thus stimulating further efforts, and for his
willingness to disclose it, thus stimulating the use of the invention.
This justification disappears when a Government agency becomes the
owner of a patent. It has no interest in restricting the use of inven-
tions and processes as a means of increasing its income and the grant-
74 >
ing of royalty-free, nonexclusive licenses can have no adverse influence
on the further creation of inventions or on their disclosure by in-
ventors in this country.
The charging of a royalty, for licenses to vested patents would
diminish the amount which need be raised from other sources to meet
the various forms of public expenditure and must therefore be viewed
as a part of the general scheme of taxation and public borrowing. If
the benefits to be derived from licenses under vested patents were
narrowly restricted, it would be appropriate to realize the full income
potentialities of these patents from those who would secure the gains.
In such circumstances a policy of royalty charges would be justified
even if no compensation was to be provided to the former patent
owner. It is the judgment of the Custodian, however, that the
patents which have been taken from enemy countries are of such
widespread benefit to the public and of such basic importance to future
improvements in the efficiency of production that a general policy of
royalty-free licensing is justified. There are some cases in which
licenses to vested patents will benefit only a few but it is not adminis-
tratively feasible to single out these cases and adopt for them a
different royalty and licensing policy.
Unless it is determined to be necessary to the war effort to issue
additional licenses any American who holds an exclusive license imder
a vested enemy patent will be allowed to retain his sole right to ex-
ploitation of the patent. In this case existing royalty agreements
will be maintained and the royalties due collected by this Office.
However, an exclusive licensee is given the option of foregoing his
exclusive rights and accepting a nonexclusive, royalty-free license.
Where Americans hold only nonexclusive licenses imder vested
enemy patents additional royalty-free licenses are granted by this
Office. To some extent this results in the competition of new pro-
ducers whose entry is fostered by the promotion activities of this
Office.
Enemy-occupied countries. — In contrast with enemy-owned patents,
those taken from nationals of enemy-occupied countries are admin-
istered by the Custodian in part in the interest of the original owners.
If there are outstanding licenses, either exclusive or nonexclusive,
which provide for royalty payments, the collection of these payments
is accordingly continued. Where the licenses are nonexclusive addi-
tional licenses are to be granted on the same terms. Only where no
licenses were previously issued are the patents to be offered to all
applicants on a royalty-free basis for the duration of the war and 6
months thereafter with provision for a reasonable royalty for the
remaining life of the patent.
A royalty-free policy has been adopted for patents not already
+ 75
licensed on the ground that the original owner could suffer no dis-
advantage from his failure to collect royalties in these cases because
of his inability to arrange for licensing during the war period. It may
appear that the same limitations apply to the issuance of additional
licenses in the case of existing nonexclusive licenses. However, the
adoption of a royalty-free policy for additional nonexclusive licenses
would destroy the possibility of collecting royalties from the existing
licenses. Neither exclusive nor nonexclusive licensees are allowed the
choice of conversion to a royalty-free basis in the case of patents
formerly owned by residents of enemy-occupied countries.
Period oj licenses. — All licenses issued by this Office under vested
patents are issued for the life of the patent with provision for reports
on the utilization of the licensed patent, and against use of the hcensed
patent so as to foster improper commercial restrictions.^
This policy was adopted as a means of providing a maximum en-
couragement to the immediate utilization of patented products or
techniques covered by vested patents. This policy thus supplements
the policy of nonexclusive, royalty-free licenses in fostering maximiun
exploitation of vested patents. In the case of patents taken from
enemy-occupied countries for which a different royalty policy is
adopted for the post-war period from that which is applied during the
war it may develop that the wartime exploitation of a patent will be
restricted by the prospective conditions which wiU be applied at the
close of the war.
Patent Holding Companies
The policies adopted for the management of patent holding com-
panies are in accordance with the broad principles that govern the
administration of all vested patents. If there are no significant
American, enemy-occupied, or neutral interests in a patent holding
company, and if there are no other compelling reasons for its con-
tinuance, consideration will be given to the possibility of dissolving
these companies, in which case the patents will be treated like patents
vested directly from nationals of enemy countries. Patent holding
companies formerly controlled by nationals of enemy-occupied coun-
tries, including those in which there are significant American or neutral
interests, will be maintained as going concerns administered by this
office wherever the future business prospects of the company justify
continuance. These companies are imder protective supervision,
» The power to revoke any license is retained by the Custodian, as in the absence of express Congressional
authority a Federal Agency does not appear to have the power to dispose of property on a royalty-free basis
except upon the understanding that such property may be recaptured in the event the government deter-
mines that other disposition must necessarily be made in the public interest. However, it is not antici-
pated that any licenses will be revoked except in cases of misconduct on the part of the licensee. In no case
will this power be exercised without notice and hearing.
76 ^
>• 3xercised under section 2 (b) of Executive Order 9095, as amended,
e Patents owned by patent holding companies will be sold as part
' of such enterprises only when the existence of important American,
1 enemy-occupied, or neutral interests requires that the patents be
! retained in the business.
Other Enterprises
I Where patents owned by any vested or supervised enterprise are
jnot being used or can be licensed without jeopardizing the company ^s
competitive position, the managements will, whenever feasible, license
these patents at a reasonable royalty on a nonexclusive basis, in
accordance with the broad policies laid down by the Custodian.
The management policy of vested enterprises is designed to promote
the legitimate interests of the companies and their American share-
holders. In most of the vested or supervised enterprises there are
minority American interests entitled to protection and the assets of
the enterprises cannot fairly be dissipated for a general public benefit.
When enterprises are not maintained or sold as going concerns but
are liquidated by sale of assets their patents will not be sold but
will be accorded the same treatment as patents vested directly.
Whenever possible the Custodian will retain ownership of the patents
and any of the licensing privileges under licenses held by a vested
enterprise rather than sell these along with the other assets of the
j enterprise. This will be done, for example, when patents are not
I utilized in the productive processes of an enterprise.
! Trade- marks
The objectives of the Alien Property Custodian in administering
enemy-owned trade-marks are to facilitate the use of enemy-owned
trade-marks subject to the jurisdiction of his Office by American
firms entitled to use them; to collect monies due and owing enemy
nationals for the use of their trade-marks by American firms having a
legitimate interest in them; to discourage the unauthorized use of
trade-marks o\vned by enemy nationals; and to preclude the use of
enemy-owned trade-marks to perpetuate or restore restrictive prac-
tices contrary to public interest.
Of the 4,000 enemy-owned trade-marks, relatively few are important
and valuable. A substantial number of the most important marks of
enemy origin are used by United States corporations formerly under
enemy influence but now completely purged of all enemy interests by
action of the Custodian. In many cases these corporations own marks
of enemy origin outright as part of their assets and will continue their
exploitation, although in certain instances on a modified basis. Where
these corporations do not own the marks but have used them as a result
^ 77
of agreements with the former foreign owners, arrangements are
being made for continued use of the marks whenever this is consistent
with the public interest.
American firms which have an interest in enemy- owned trade-marks,
as a result of bona fide pre-war arrangements or as the result of legi-
timate use, will also be permitted to continue to employ these marks
whenever consistent with the public interest. Any royalties due will
be collected by this Office.
When trade-marks are associated with products manufactured
under vested patents licensed by the Custodian, arrangements will be
made in appropriate cases for the use of the trade-mark by the patent
licensees.
The Custodian will not consent to the use of vested trade-marks
where the marks have merely been registered by the foreign owners and
never used in this country. WTierever consumers have come to expect
certain properties from an imported trade-marked product which
cannot be duplicated by American manufacturers, the use of the vested
mark will not be permitted. Marks denoting products made by a
secret process or formula which is not known in this country could not
be employed by any domestic manufacturer without likelihood of
deception.
The trade-marks appurtenant to vested enterprises which are sold
as going concerns will be sold along with the enterprises. In dis-
posing of any vested trade-mark, all possible care will be exercised to
make sure that the purchaser is acting in good faith and not for spec-
ulative purposes, and restrictions in the public interest will be im-
posed with respect to the future use of the mark.
Trade-marks of nationals of enemy-occupied coimtries will also be
controlled to prevent misuse or abuse and to protect the interests of
those nationals.

the Deputy AHen Property Custodian, and the chiefs of the various
divisions, is the chief legal policy-making oflBicer of the agency. He

and other papers incidental to court proceedings. A summary of
litigation in which the Office is interested is appended as exhibit E.
The general coimsel exercises his functions through the office of
the general coimsel, which is located in Washington, D, C, and con-
sists of two sections, the Administrative Section and the Operations
Section. Each section operates under the immediate direction of an
assistant general counsel. The Administrative Section is composed
of three units — the Research and Opinion Unit, the Review and Liti-
gation Unit, and the Legislation Unit. The Operation Section is
composed of three units, the Claims Unit, the Consultation and
Correspondence Unit, and the Service Unit.
Office of the Solicitor
The Solicitor is the chief legal administrative officer of the Office
of Alien Property Custodian in the liquidation of properties and the
operation of business enterprises. He determines the legal status
of vested or supervised business enterprises under the statutes of the
locality; supervises the installation of new officers and directors; pro-
vides legal services for the Division of Business Operations and the
Division of Liquidation, and is responsible for the legality of action
taken by these divisions; and supervises the ordinary business and
commercial litigation of corporate enterprises under the jurisdiction
of the Office of Alien Property Custodian when such litigation does
not require direct participation by the Department of Justice.* In
» Over 400 cases involving vested or supervised enterprises, standing either as plaintiffs or defendants, are
pending In courts throughout the United States.
82 4
;ases handled by the Attorney General of the United States the
unction of the office of the Solicitor is limited to that of supplying
nformation, materials, and such assistance as may be required.
The work of the office of the Solicitor, which is under the direction
n the Solicitor, is divided between the liquidation attorney, the
business operations attorney, and the tax attorney. The head-
quarters office of the Solicitor is in Chicago; field offices are in New
fork and San Francisco. In addition, the Chicago office is a field
)ffice for cases not assigned to New York or San Francisco.
Office of Executive Officer
The office of executive officer is responsible for supervising the
v^arious business functions of the agency and for providing necessary
idministrative services. This office participates in organizational
planning and the development of procedures relating to functions of
the agency. In addition, all financial matters and budgetary control
clear through this office, where there is also supervision of personnel
activities and operating services.
The Comptroller's Division
The Comptroller's Division performs all accounting and auditing
functions required in the operations of the Office of. Alien Property
Custodian. It maintains the accounting records relating to property
brought imder the control of the Office, including property remaining
from World War I seizure, and the accounting records relating to the
internal operations of the Office. It supervises the auditing of vested
or supervised enterprises, audits the administrative accounts of the
Office and prepares financial and statistical reports on property con-
trolled by the Office.
The Comptroller's Division is responsible for maintenance of the
accounts which the Office has with other Federal agencies, including
! the depository accoimts with the Treasurer of the United States and
accounts established in connection with services rendered to the Office
by other agencies.
The work of the Division is carried out in three sections — the Ac-
counts Section, the Audit and Analysis Section, and the Service
Section.
The headquarters of the Division are in Chicago, and field offices
are located in New York, Washington, and San Francisco.
Division of Investigation and Research
The Division of Investigation and Research initiates and conducts
investigations (described in pp. 22-32) with respect to property sub-
^ 83
ject to the authority of the Office of Alien Property Custodian. In
the main the Division's work is confined to prevesting or precontrol
activities. Once property has been brought under the control of the
Office of Alien Property Custodian upon the basis of the Division's
reports, the work of administering or otherwise disposing of it is
generally assigned to one of the other divisions of the Office. In a
few instances business enterprises were assigned to the Division for
the purpose of surveillance as a security measure. Although there
seemed no basis for action on the part of other governmental agencies,
investigation by the Division indicated that the possibilities of sabo-
tage or subversive activity were present in such a degree that surveil-
lance of the owner's activity with respect to his property was believed
to be in the national interest. It has been the purpose of the Division
in these cases not to manage or control the individual, his property,
or his expenditures in a business or personal sense, but to insure that
none of the activities or disbursements was against the interests of
the United States. Control is exercised through a system of review
and licensing of expenditures.
The Division operates through three investigative sections — the
Business Enterprise Section, the Patent Section, and the Real and
Personal Property Section. In addition, the Division has a Research
Section which studies and makes recommendations on policy matters
involved with control of alien property.
Owing to the necessity for close cooperation and consultation with
other governmental investigative agencies and the frequent need for
reference to the files of other agencies, the headquarters of the Division
of Investigation and Research are located in Washington, D. C. Much
of the field work is centered in New York City and the surrounding
area, and a field office was accordingly established in that city. Other
field offices are located in Chicago and San Francisco.
Research Section. — The Research Section of the Division of In-
vestigation and Research is a service unit for the entire Office of
Alien Property Custodian. Its principal functions are to maintain
and analyze statistics on the operations of the Office for the purpose
of evaluating the effectiveness of such operations, and to assist in
formulating the policies to be followed by the Office. In addition,
the Section prepares the annual report of the Office and provides non-
legal library facilities.
The Section's contribution to the formulation of policies is made
through studies on various subjects delating to the control of alien
property and the preparation of surveys, analyses, and recommenda-
tions on the basis of such studies. For example, it analyzes the princi-
ples aud practices followed in the treatment of enemy property in the
past wars, giving attention to such subjects as the international law
84 -¥
of property and the history of World War I, and studies the handling
of the problem by allied and enemy nations during this war with a
view to determining the weaknesses and advantages of various types
of control. It has considered problems which may arise in connec-
tion with post-war settlements and the significance of the operations
of the Custodian from the standpoint of post-war arrangements,
since it is desirable that the actions of the Custodian shall be con-
sistent with and contribute to the formation of the post-war policies
of the Uxiited States. Other subjects studied are the extent of enemy
property in this country, the forces which determine the amount of
this property, and the policies with respect to various classes of alien
property which are in the public interest.
Division of Estates, Trusts, and Property
This Division has three distinct functions — the administration of
vested enemy property which is imder judicial supervision, and rep-
resentation in court or administrative actions and proceedings of
persons within enemy and enemy-occupied countries; the operation
of the depository system througl^ which formal possession of vested
properties is obtained and which provides for safekeeping of documents
of title, conveyance of cash receipts to the Treasurer of the United
States, and proper notification to the Comptroller's Division of the
acquisition of property; and the administration of cases pending in
connection with World War I seizures.
The work of the Division is carried out in three sections — the
Estates and Trust Section, the Custody and Clearance Section, and
the World War I Property Section.®
Headquarters of the Division are located in Washington, D. C,
and field offices have been established in New York, Chicago, and
San Francisco.
Division of Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals and Special Services
The Division of Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals and Special Services
studies and develops plans for the replacement of Axis commercial
interests in the other American Republics in cooperation with other
Federal agencies and performs other special services as directed by the
Custodian.
Division of Patent Administration
This Division is responsible for the administration of vested patents,
patent apphcations, copyrights, trade-marks, contracts relating to
these, and business enterprises whose assets consist primarily of
patents, copyrights, or trade-marks.
• The Office of Alien Property Custodian has allowed 11 claims for approximately $250,000 against property
seized dm-ing W orld War I. A detailed list of such claims will be found in exhibit H, p. 159.
> 85
In the main the responsibilities of the Division begin after the
issuance of formal orders placing the various types of property which
fall within its jurisdiction imder the control of this Office. However,
because of the specialized character of the properties involved, the
Division has participated in the necessary prevesting investigations.
The work of the Division is divided among nine sections: War
Production Section, Patent Use and Development Section, Licensing
Section, Patent Review Section, Patent Application Prosecution
Section, Corporate Owned Patents Section, Contract Renegotiation
Section, Copyright Administration Section, and Trade-Mark Admin-
istration Section.
The headquarters of the Division are in Washington; operating
sections are located in Washington, Chicago, and New York.
Division of Business Operations
The Division of Business Operations is responsible for the adminis-
tration of business enterprises (other than patent holding companies)
which it does not refer to the Division of Liquidation for sale of assets
and for all real-estate properties and real estate operating companies
vested or supervised by the Office of Alien Property Custodian.
The work of the Division is carried out in two sections — the Business
Analyst Section and the Real Estate Section. Each of these Sections
works in close conjunction with attorneys from the office of the
Solicitor and accountants from the Comptroller's Division in handling
the legal and accounting problems which arise in the administration
of vested or supervised properties.
The Division's headquarters are at Chicago; field offices are located
in New York and San Francisco.
Division of Liquidation
The Division of Liquidation is responsible for the liquidation of
business enterprises which are being liquidated by sale of assets and
for the disposition of all vested tangible property other than real estate.
The headquarters of the Division are in Chicago and field offices
are located in New York and San Francisco. It also has representa-
tives in Seattle, Los Angeles, and Dallas in connection with the
liquidation of properties located in the respective areas of these cities.

APPENDIX
FOREIGN-OWNED PROPERTY IN THE UNITED
STATES
By December 7, 1941, over $7,000,000,000 of foreign-owned property
11 the United States had been subjected to Government control.
Phis control was initiated in April 1940 when Norway and Denmark
were invaded and aU transactions in foreign exchange, credit, and
property transactions involving the nationals of these two countries
were subjected to regulation by license. As other European coun-
tries came under the domination of Germany, control was extended
to their property holdings in the United States so that by the end of
1940 the United States Government was controlling approximately
^4,400,000,000 of foreign-owned property. Of this amount
$3,200,000,000 was equally divided between France and Holland;
$800,000,000 was Belgian, and the balance was owned by Norway,
Denmark, Rumania, Luxembourg, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.
In June and July of 1941 control was extended to Germany and Italy,
to other parts of Europe dominated by these two countries, to the
neutral European countries (except Turkey) , and to China and Japan.
Thus by the end of the year all-foreign-owned property in the United
States, except that belonging to the British Commonwealth of Na-
Itions, to th6 American Republics, to Turkey and to Russia, was
subject to governmental control.^
Of the foreign-owned property subjected to Government control
approximately $465,000,000 belonged to the nationals of coimtries
with which we are now at war — Germany, Italy, Japan, Hungary,
Rumania, and Bulgaria; approximately $4,000,000,000 belonged to
nationals of countries now occupied by the enemy countries and
1 The only additions made after December 7, 1941, consisted of property belonging to territories which
came under the domination of Japan.
^ 93
approximately $2,700,000,000 belonged to the nationals of other i
blocked coun tries. ^
The total amount of foreign-owned property subjected to Govern-
ment control is much larger than the amount that was subjected to
control during the First World War. This is due to the large amount!
of nonenemy property which is now controlled. The amount of
enemy property subjected to control is much smaller than it was
during the First World War even though Italy and Japan were not
then enemy countries. The difference is due to the much smaller
amount of German-owned property which during the First World
War exceeded $600,000,000. Prior to the outbreak of war in 1914,
Germany was one of the important creditor countries, both with
respect to the world as a whole and with respect to the United States.
Its creditor position, like that of the other creditor countries, was
impaired during that war in the process of utilizing foreign assets to
supplement domestic war production. In the years following the
First World War Germany was not in an economic position to export
significant amounts of capital. In fact, much of its reconstruction
work was carried out with aid of foreign capital. During the 1930's
Germany had need for aU the foreign exchange she could muster in
order to finance imports required for her military program. And the
rigid control imposed on all foreign transactions prevented the flightl
of capital from Germany to the United States, which was characteristic
of other continental countries.
The amount of enemy property within the jurisdiction of the;
Office of Alien Property Custodian is considerably smaller than the;
amount of property that was controlled by the Alien Property Cus-
todian in the First World War. This results, not only from the fact
that the total amount of enemy property in the United States is nowi
smaller than it was in 1917, but from the distinction that has been
drawn in the present war between cash and investment securities and
other types of property. The first two are in general controlled by]
the foreign funds control of the Treasury Department while the
other types of property are in the jurisdiction of the Alien Property
Custodian. During the First World W^ar a substantial portion of the
enemy property controlled by the Alien Property Custodian consisted
of investment securities.
In table XI there is presented a summary of all foreign-owned
property in the United States allocated to groups of countries and
» The amount of property actually owned by the nationals of enemy countries may in fact be somewhat
larger than the amount recorded. The statistics of international investments are far from complete. More-
over, the transfer of propertv from the enemy countries has in recent years been subjected to rigid controls,;
In the endeavor to evade these controls, transfers may nave been made in the names of nationals of othei
countries. Finally, the anticipation of wartime seizures has also fostered the use of various cloaking de-
vices to conceal actual ownership. For our own experience In connection with the investigation of owner-
ship, see p. 23.

The amount of foreign-owned property in the United States is the
result of a complex of forces including: The international flow of
capital over a long period of time; the desire of foreign companies to
expand their markets; patent laws which make possible the protection
of foreign inventions in this country; the large amount of migration
which has characterized this country; the demands of wartime condi-
tions and in recent years monetary instability and political and
economic uncertainty.
The long-run international movement of capital has been an impor-
tant characteristic of modern economic development. In this way
the savings of older countries have become the means of fostering
economic expansion in the newer countries. Down to 1914 the
United States was a new country in this sense. The higher rate of
return from capital in the newer countries was the principal deter-
mining factor in directing the flow of capital to these countries although
at any point of time particular individuals and companies in the
newer countries did for various reasons make investments in the older
countries. Thus, down to 1914, while Americans held some invest-
ments abroad, they held much less than foreigners held in the United
States. It is estimated that by 1914 foreign-held investments in the
United States amounted to about $7,000,000,000 while American
investments abroad amounted to about $3,500,000,000.^
The principal foreign investors in the United States in 1914 were
British, German, and French. During the war these belligerent
;;D0un tries utilized a substantial portion of their foreign investments to
» Cleona Lewis, America's Stake in International Investments, Washington, 1938, p. 455i
> 95
supplement the output of their domestic industries. By the end o
1919 it is estimated that foreign investments in the United State
were reduced to approximately $4,000,000,000. During this sam
period there was a substantial outflow of capital from the Unitei
States. Private Americans, during the period of neutrality an«
immediately after the armistice, and the Government after ou
participation in the war, loaned substantial sums to the Allied coun
tries for the purpose of financing their wartime piu-chases in thi
country. As a consequence of these two developments the Unite«
States had shifted from a debtor to a creditor country with privat
American investment abroad of approximately $7,000,000,000 a
against foreign-held investments in the United States of abou
$4,000,000,000.
During the 1920's foreign investments in the United States increase
so that by 1929 they amounted to approximately $8,000,000,00(1
But during this period there was an unprecedented peacetime floi
of capital from the United States so that by 1929 the foreign invesi
ments of this country amounted to approximately $15,000,000,00
(exclusive of intergovernmental war debts).
The 1930's were characterized by widespread economic derangt
ment and this had an important influence on the movement of capiti
between nations. The United States again became a net importc
of capital but for reasons quite different than those that prevaile
in the period prior to 1914 or during the 1920's.
The world-wide deflation and depression that followed 1929 wf
no more conducive to the making of investments abroad than it wi
to the making of domestic investments. The monetary derangemeni
and the defaults of European countries on principal and interej
account after 1930 led to the withdrawal from European coim tries <
those dollar credits that could still be withdrawn under the restri<
tions of international transfer of funds which were then introduced.
After 1934 there was a large influx of foreign funds into the Unite
States induced by both the favorable economic opportunities whic
came with the recovery and by the growing threat of war in Europ
Except for a short period of 10 months in 1937-38, when there was i
significant amoimt of repatriation of foreign capital from the Unite
States, the inward flow continued and was accentuated as the imml
nence of war became closer. It is- largely as a result of the fact thj
the inward flow of capital was dominated by the desire of Europeai
to find a place of safety for their wealth that so large a portion >
foreign investments in the United States now consists of gold, bar,
deposits, and investment securities.
The value of foreign-owned property in the United States at tl
beginning of the present war has been variously estimated as varyii
96 -f
from $10,000,000,000 to $13,000,000,000. Thus, in contrast with the
total of $13,000,000,000 quoted by the Treasury Department and
utilized at the beginning of this section to show ownership by countries
and types of property, the Bank for International Settlements re-
ports a total of less than $10,000,000,000.'*
The Office of Alien Property Custodian is particularly concerned
with that segment of foreign investments in the United States in which
foreign nationals exercise control over specific physical assets.
The simplest type of du-ect investment arises in connection with the
establishment of foreign branches or subsidiaries to market the products
of the home companies. The Germans have relied mainly on German
nationals sent to this country for this particular purpose or on German
nationals already in this country, and not on making use of existing
American enterprises. While many of these branches or subsidiaries
have remained importing and selling agencies, others have expanded
their activities to furnishing technical and engineering services in con-
nection with their products and often into the fiield of the production of
similar products.
Large foreign producers do not limit themselves to exporting as a
means of expanding their markets. They tend to establish productive
enterprises in other countries in lieu of exporting to these countries as
a means of exploiting their technical assets. In the German case the
concentration of domestic industry has carried with it an effort to
extend market domination into other countries, and the establish-
ment of productive enterprises in these countries is an important step
in this direction. It is possible also that our tariffs have fostered the
establishment of foreign productive enterprises as an alternative to
continued exportation of German products. Hence, we find important
German-owned enterprises in those fields of industry in which the
Germans have been so eminent in their own country.
Our patent laws permit the granting of patents on foreign inven-
tions on terms similar to those granted on domestic inventions. It is
not surprising, therefore, that the Germans who have made so much
progress in certain industrial fields should be the owners of numerous
and important patents in the United States. The nationals of other
foreign countries are also the holders of patents and patent applica-
tions in this country.
The simplest exploitation of these patents, i. e., the issue of Hcenses
to American producers, establishes foreign claims to income produced
in the United States. This, however, is not the only importance of
foreign-owned American patents. They have frequently been utilized
as the basis for establishing new, or strengthening old, foreign enter-
prises in this country. Patents and related technical knowledge have
* Bank for International Settlements, Twelfth Annual Report, Basle, June 8, 1942, p. 102.
^ 97
also been utilized by foreigners to acquire interests in American enter-
prises. The Germans in particular have followed the practice o]|
getting equity interests in American enterprises in return for th(
patents and technical services they provided.
In recent years patents have played an important part in th(|
formation of domestic and international cartels. The Germans!
accustomed to the cartel form of business organization in thei]
domestic economy, have been pre-eminent in utilizing their Americar
patents to promote international cartels. Through contractual agree
ments embodied in patent contracts the Germans have acquired i
substantial influence in American industry, including control of output
exports, experimentation, selling practices, and rights to income with-
out the acquisition of direct ownership rights. This type of control has
been especially prevalent in a number of basic industries, including
dyestufl^s, drugs and pharmaceuticals, synthetic rubber, aluminum
magnesium, beryllium, potash, plastics, and optical instruments
Whether organized to promote the monopoly interests of German and
American companies or designed by the Germans to strengthen the
military position of their country, the result has frequently been tc
foster American dependence on German supplies, to discourage inde-
pendent American research, to hamper the entry of newcomers, to
restrict output and to fix prices.

he has certified to the Secretary of the Treasury that it is necessar}' in the national
interest, with respect to such business enterprise, either (i) to provide for the
protection of the property, (ii) to change personnel or supervise the employment
policies, (iii) to liquidate, reorganite, or sell, (iv) to direct the management in
respect to operations, or (v) to vest;
(c) any other property within the United States owned or controlled by a
designated enemy country or national thereof, not including in such other property,
however, cash, bullion, moneys, currencies, deposits, credits, credit instruments,
foreign exchange and securities except to the extent that the Alien Property
Custodian determines that such cash, bullion, moneys, currencies, deposits,
credits, credit instruments, foreign exchange and securities are necessary for the
maintenance or safeguarding of other property belonging to the same designated
enemy country or the same national thereof and subject to vesting pursuant to
section 2 hereof ;
(d) any patent, patent appHcation, design patent, design patent apphcation,
copyright, copyright apphcation, trademark or trademark apphcation or right

and any property of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, royal-
ties and license fees) payable or held with respect thereto, and any interest of any
nature whatsoever held therein by any foreign country or national thereof;
(e) any ship or vessel or interest therein, in which any foreign country or na-
tional thereof has an interest; and
(f) any property of any nature whatsoever which is in the process of adminis-
tration by any person acting under judicial supervision or which is in partition,

When the Alien Property Custodian determines to exercise any power and author-
ity'- conferred upon him by this section with respect to any of the foregoing property
over which the Secretary of the Treasury is exercising any control and so notifies
the Secretary of the Treasury in writing, the Secretary of the Treasury shall
release all control of such property, except as authorized or directed by the Alien
Property Custodian.
3. Subject to the provisions of this Executive Order, all powers and authority
conferred upon me by sections 3 (a) and 5 (b) of the Trading with the Enemy Act,
as amended, are hereby delegated to the Secretary of the Treasury or any person,
agency, or instrumentality designated by him; Provided, however, That when any
property or interest, not belonging to a foreign government or central bank,
shall be vested by the Secretary of the Treasury, such property or interest shall be
vested in, and dealt with by, the Alien Property Custodian upon the terms directed
by the Secretary of the Treasury. Except as otherwise provided herein, this
Executive Order shall not be deemed to modify or amend Executive Order No.
8389, as amended, or the President's Proclamation of July 17, 1941, or Executive
Order No. 8839, as amended, or the regulations, rulings, licenses and other action
taken thereunder, or in connection therewith.
4. Without limitation as to any other powers or authority of the Secretary of
156 ^
the Treasury or the Alien Property Custodian under any other provision of this
Executive Order, the Secretary of the Treasury and the Alien Property Custodian
are authorized and empowered, either jointly or severally, to prescribe from time
to time, regulations, rulings, and instructions to carry out the purposes of this
Executive Order. The Secretary of the Treasury and the Alien Property Cus-
todian each shall make available to the other all information in his files to enable
the other to discharge his functions, and shall keep each other currently informed
as to investigations being conducted with respect to enemy ownership or control
of business enterprises within the United States.
5. The Alien Property Custodian is authorized to issue appropriate regulations
governing the service of process or notice upon any person within any designated
enemy country or any enemy-occupied territory in connection with any court
or administrative action or proceeding within the United States. The Alien
Property Custodian also is authorized to take such other and further measures
in connection with representing any such person in any such action or proceeding
as in his judgment and discretion is or may be in the interest of the United States.
If, as a result of any such action or proceeding, any such person obtains, or is
determined to have, an interest in any property (including money judgments),
such property, less an amount equal to the costs and expenses incurred by the
Alien Property Custodian in such action or proceeding, shall be subject to the
provisions of Executive Order No. 8389, as amended. Provided, however, That this
shall not be deemed to limit the powers of the Alien Property Custodian under
section 2 of this Order; and Provided further, That the Alien Property Custodian
may vest an amount of such property equal to the costs and expenses incurred
by the Alien Property Custodian in such action or proceeding.
6. To enable the Alien Property Custodian to carry out his functions under
this Executive Order, there are hereby delegated to the Alien Property Custodian
or any person, agency, or instrumentality designated by him all powers and
authority conferred upon me by section 5(b) of the Trading with the enemy Act,
as amended, including, but not limited to, the power to make such investigations
and require such reports as he deems necessary or appropriate to determine
whether any enterprise or property should be subject to his jurisdiction and
control under this Executive Order. The powers and authority conferred upon
the Alien Property Custodian by Executive Order No. 9142 shall be administered
by him in conformity with the provisions of this Executive Order.
7. In the exercise of the authority herein delegated, the Alien Property Cus-
todian shall be subject to the provisions of Executive Order No. 8839 of July 30,
1941, and shall designate a representative to the Board of Economic Warfare in
accordance with section 6 thereof.
8. All records and other property (including office equipment) of the Treasury
Department which are used primarily in the administration of powers and duties
to be exercised by the Alien Property Custodian, and such personnel as is used
primarily in the administration of such powers and duties and which was hired
by the Treasury Department after September 1, 1941 (including officers whose
chief duties relate to the administration of such powers and duties), as the Sec-
retary of the Treasury and the Alien Property Custodian shall jointly certity for
transfer, shall be transferred to the Office of the Alien Property Custodian. In
the event of disagreement concerning the transfer of any personnel, records, or
property, the determination shall be made by the Director of the Bureau of
the Budget, pursuant to the formula here prescribed. Any personnel transferred
pursuant to this Executive Order shall be transferred without loss of such Civil
Service status or eligibility therefor as they may have.
9. This Executive Order shall not be deemed to modify or amend Executive
Order No. 8843 of August 9, 1941, and the regulations, rulings, licenses and other
action taken thereunder. Any and all action heretofore taken by the Secretary
of the Treasury or the Alien Property Custodian, or by any person, agency, or
instrumentality designated by either of them, pursuant to sections 3 (a) and
5 (b) of the Trading with the enemy Act, as amended, or pursuant to prior
Executive Orders, and any and all action heretofore taken by the Board of Gov-
ernors of the Federal Reserve System pursuant to Executive Order No. 8843 of
August 9, 1941, are hereby confirmed and ratified.
10. For the purpose of this Executive Order:
(a) The term "designated enemy country" shall mean any foreign country
against which the United States has declared the existence of a state of war
(Germany, Italy, Japan, Bulgaria, Hungary and Rumania) and any other country
with which the United States is at war in the future. The term "national" shall
550353—43 11
> 157
have the meaning prescribed in section 5 of Executive Order No. 8389, as amended:
Provided, however, That persons not within designated enemy countries (even
though they may be within enemy-occupied countries or areas) shall not be
deemed to be nationals of a designated enemy country unless the Alien Property
Custodian determines: (i) that such person is controlled by or acting for or on
behalf of (including cloaks for) a designated enemy country or a person within
such country; or (ii) that such person is a citizen or subject of a designated enemy
country and within an enemy-occupied country or area; or (iii) that the national
interest of the United States requires that such person be treated as a national
of a designated enemy country. For the purpose of this Executive Order any
determination by the Alien Property Custodian that any property or interest of
any foreign country or national thereof is the property or interest of a designated
enemy country or national thereof shall be final and conclusive as to the power
of the Alien Property Custodian to exercise any of the power or authority con-
ferred upon me by section 5 (b) of the Trading with thp; pnemv Act as amended.
(b) The term "business enterprise within the United States" shall mean any
individual proprietorship, partnership, corporation or other organization primarily
engaged in the conduct of a business within the United States, and any other indi-
vidual proprietorship, partnership, corporation or other organization to the extent
that it has an established office within the United States engaged in the conduct of
business within the United States.
11. The Secretary of the Treasury or the Alien Property Custodian, as the case
may be, shall, except as otherwise agreed to by the Secretary of State, consult
with the Secretary of State before vesting any"^property or interest pursuant to
this Executive Order, and the Secretary of the Treasury shall consult with the
Secretarj^ of State before issuing any Order adding any additional foreign countries
to section 3 of Executive Order No. 8389, as amended.
12. Any orders, regulations, rulings, instructions, licenses or other actions
issued or taken by any person, agency or instrumentality referred to in this Execu-
tive Order, shall be final and conclusive as to the power of such person, agency or
instrumentality to exercise any of the power or authority conferred upon me by
sections 3 (a) and 5 (b) of the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended; and to
the extent necessary and appropriate to enable them to perform their duties and
functions hereunder, the Secretary of the Treasury and the AUen Property
Custodian shall be deemed to be authorized to exercise severally any and ail
authority, rights, privileges and powers conferred on the President by sections
3 (a) and 5 (b) of the Trading with the enemv Act of October 6, 1917, as amended,
and by sections 301 and 302 of Title III of the First War Powers Act, 1941,
approved December 18, 1941. No person affected by any order, regulation,
ruling, instruction, license or other action issued or taken by either the Secretary
of the Treasury or the Alien Property Custodian shall be entitled to challenge
the validity thereof or otherwise excuse his actions, or failure to act, on the ground
that pursuant to the provisions of this Executive Order, such order, regulation,
ruling, instruction, license or other action was within the jurisdiction of the
Alien Property Custodian rather than the Secretary of the Treasury or vice versa.
13. Any regulations, rulings, instructions, licenses, determinations or other
actions issued, made or taken by any agency or person referred to in this Executive
Order, purporting to be under the provisions of this Executive Order or any other
proclamation, order or regulation, issued under sections 3 (a) or 5 (b) of the
Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, shall be conclusively presumed to have
been issued, made or taken after appropriate consultation as herein required and
after appropriate certification in any case in which a certification is required
pursuant to the provisions of this Executive Order.
(Signed) Franklin D. Roosevelt.
